Background
At the beginning of June, the Ukrainian military intensified offensive operations at several front lines. In particular, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are advancing on the flanks of the Bakhmut direction in Ukraine's east.
Ukrainian soldiers also began to liberate settlements in the Berdiansk and Zaporizhzhia directions. For a long time, the front line in these directions was unchanged.
The following settlements were successfully de-occupied in the Zaporizhzhia region: Lobkove, Levadne, and Novodarivka.
In the Donetsk region, Ukrainian soldiers liberated the villages of Storozheve, Blahodatne, Neskuchne, and Makarivka.
On Monday, June 19, Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated Piatykhatky in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region.
At the same time, British intelligence notes that the Russian occupying forces are now suffering their heaviest losses since the peak of the Battle of Bakhmut in March of this year.
The Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Hanna Maliar, also reported that the Russians are trying to stop the offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are not giving up.
