The Ukrainian army is facing heavy attacks from Russian troops on many front sectors in the east and south. That emerges from the report of the General Staff in Kiev this evening. The front sectors Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marjinka and Shakhtarsk were named.
The Russian army accompanied the attacks with artillery fire and airstrikes. But it was always possible to stop the attackers, it said. The military information is not independently verifiable.
Meanwhile, the report named two sections where Ukraine itself is attacking – towards Melitopol and Berdyansk in the south. There, the Ukrainian army hopes with its counter-offensive to reach the Sea of Azov and cut off the Russian land connection to the Crimean peninsula, which has been illegally annexed since 2014. The Russian troops are particularly well entrenched in the region.
The Ukrainian offensive has been underway for two months, but has so far fallen short of high expectations. Russia’s war of aggression against the neighboring country has been going on since February last year.
