Russian troops are conducting their offensive operations in northeastern Ukraine around the city of Kupyansk.
The Ukrainian military during the counter-offensive was able to achieve “tactically significant” progress in two directions. On Saturday, August 12, according to the material of the American edition of The New York Times.
It is indicated that “after several months of slow progress through minefields, villages and open steppes in exhausting battles, Ukrainian forces are succeeding in two main offensive directions.”
In particular, it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving through the village of Staromayorskoye in occupied Berdyansk and west to occupied Melitopol, “an important transport hub.”
“Kyiv’s goal is to reach the Sea of Azov and drive a wedge into the so-called land corridor between Russia and Crimea, which is important for Russian military supply routes,” the analysts wrote.
They added that the area of liberated territory was from 10 to 12 miles in the same direction of the advance.
Ukrainian air defense in total shot down 13 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles and more than 20 ballistic missiles, whose destruction until recently was considered impossible.
