After months of counteroffensive, Ukraine advances on the Dnipro and announces that it has repelled the Russian occupiers in an area between 3 and 8 kilometers on the eastern bank of the strategic river in the south of the country, just a stone’s throw from Crimea. The latest success of Kiev’s counter-offensive launched at the beginning of the summer, pushing south to cut off supply lines to Crimea, dates back to last August in the Zaporizhzhia region. Instead, Putin’s offensive is pushing along the Donetsk and Lugansk lines in Donbass, which point towards Avdiivka and Kupiansk and which appear to be the Russians’ main targets. However, Moscow’s progress is limited, while “very significant” losses highlight London’s 007.
