Russia's war in Ukraine
Ukrainian forces are claiming some success as they continue their offensive in the south and east of the country, with much of the fighting taking place near the embattled eastern city of Bakhmut, an army spokesman said.
"In the Bakhmut direction, Ukrainian troops conducted assault operations in the Rozdolivka-Krasnopolivka and Berkhivka-Yahidne [front lines] and were successful," said Andriy Kovalov, spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In an update, the General Staff said Russia continues to focus its primary efforts in the Donetsk region on Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Mariinka, with at least 49 combat engagements taking place Wednesday.
"Ukrainian defenders repelled all enemy attacks in the vicinity of the city of Mariinka," the General Staff claimed.
In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, "fighting continues in the area of Makarivka village in the Berdiansk direction," said Kovalov, the spokesman.
Fighting is also raging in the vicinity of Novodanylivka and Novopokrovka villages, he said.
