'We're seeing the first results of the counter-offensive actions, localised results,' said the spokesperson for Ukraine's 'Tavria' military sector.
Kyiv's forces posted unverified videos showing soldiers hoisting the Ukrainian flag at a bombed-out building in the village of Blahodatne in Donetsk region and posing with their unit's flag in the adjacent village of Neskuchne.
"No positions were lost on the directions where our forces are on the defensive," Maliar added on Telegram.Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that a Ukrainian military push was underway, but that it had failed to breach Russian defensive lines and taken heavy casualties. Kyiv officials have imposed a strict period of operational silence and urged Ukrainians not to disclose any information that could compromise the operation.With so little information out of Kyiv and scant independent reporting from the front lines, it has been almost impossible to assess the battlefield situation.
Russia said at least twice this week that it had repelled attacks close by the nearby settlement of Velyka Novosilka. "This led to the flooding of both banks of the Mokri Yaly River," he told Ukrainian NV Radio."This, however, does not affect our counter-offensive actions." Russia has built vast fortifications across occupied territory to prepare for a Ukrainian counterattack using thousands of troops trained and equipped by the West.
