In early June, the Ukrainian military intensified offensives in several areas of the frontline. In particular, they are advancing on the flanks of the Bakhmut sector.
Ukrainian soldiers began to liberate settlements in the Berdiansk and Zaporizhzhia directions. For a long time, the front line in these areas has been unchanged.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, they managed to de-occupy the settlements of Lobkove, Levadne, and Novodarivka.
In the Donetsk region, they liberated the villages of Storozheve, Blagodatne, Neskuchne, and Makarivka.
On June 19, Deputy defense minister Hanna Malyar said that Ukrainian forces had liberated Pyatikhatky in Zaporizhzhia, which serves as a logistics pinpoint to control main roads to southern cities.
At the same time, British intelligence notes that the occupation forces are now suffering the greatest losses since the peak of the battle for Bakhmut in March this year.
However, in recent days, the Russian occupiers have become more active in the Lyman-Kupiansk direction. Ukrainian defenders are holding back the enemy's attacks.
Also, according to the military, Ukrainian defenders have advanced one kilometer in the Tauride direction and leveled the front line.
From February 24, 2022, to June 23, 2023, the Ukrainian forces eliminated about 223,330 Russian invaders.
