SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for September 1, 2023 | SaltWireKYIV - Ukraine said on Friday its troops had broken through Russia's first line of defences in several places, though they have then encountered even more heavily-fortified Russian positions.
She added, however, that Kyiv's troops who have been battling to advance through heavily-mined areas for almost three months had now run into major defensive Russian fortifications. "They have achieved some success against that second line of Russian defenses," Kirby said, adding it was up to Ukraine on how to capitalize on that success.
Russia already calls the Ukrainian push a failure; Kyiv says it has been advancing slowly on purpose to minimise losses, and that its task is more difficult because it lacks the air power that its Western allies take for granted.
