Officials also report that Russian forces failed to regain lost positions in an area further south.
KYIV: Ukrainian troops made headway in the eastern theatre of their counter-offensive to oust Russian occupying forces but are under pressure further north, Ukrainian officials said on Thursday.
“The intensity of assaults there has increased … The enemy has chosen a new point – Makiivka – and is directing all its main efforts into this direction. Of course, we are also repulsing enemy attacks and inflicting damage on forces and equipment.” Also in the east, Ukrainian forces are battling to regain ground near the devastated city of Bakhmut, seized by Russian forces in May after months of fighting.
