Ukraine ramps up counteroffensive after months of slow progress - CNN
Ukraine is likely to increase the pace of its counter-offensive after two months of slow progress on the battlefield.
According to Censor.NET, CNN writes about it.
Two US officials told the newspaper that Ukraine has moved additional forces to the southeast of the country, "indicating that Kyiv has identified potential weaknesses in Russian defence lines".
"The Ukrainian military has maintained a large number of trained troops, some equipped with more powerful Western weapons, since the start of the operation in early June. While it still maintains some combat power in reserve, it has now deployed the 'bulk' of the forces involved in the counter-offensive," the article says.
According to the newspaper, the counteroffensive appears to have yielded some results. The counterattack has broken through some elements of Russian defensive lines in the southeast, and reserve units have moved in to take advantage of this opportunity.
"A Russian military official acknowledged that Ukrainian troops managed to 'break in' on three sections of Russia's first line of defence on the Zaporizhzhia frontline on Wednesday," CNN writes.
The 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is taking part in the offensive, confirmed to CNN that it was advancing, saying: "Infantry is advancing. Artillery is covering. Bradley crews are destroying enemy infantry and their equipment."
