Ukrainian operators have reportedly liberated a village in Donetsk during the opening stages of a major operational push in the region.
The 35th brigade and the ‘Ariy’ territorial defence unit recaptured Staromaiorske after inflicting major losses to the enemy. Staromaiorske is significant as it’s one of a string of settlements that Ukraine has liberated during the ongoing counter-offensive.
Earlier today, we reported that Ukrainian mechanized units had broken through the first line of Russian defences in southeastern sectors.
Ukraine has for weeks been conducting probing raids to gauge the depth and cohesion of Russian defences. Today’s operational successes likely follow the discovery of one or more weak points in the Russian lines.
