Russia’s defence ministry announced on Saturday that its troops have taken control of 19 settlements in southeastern Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions over their summer campaign.
Details of the Campaign
The ministry cited a report by Pyotr Bolgarev, commander of the eastern group of forces, but did not name the settlements. Separately, the ministry said its forces had recently taken control of the settlement of Rybalskoye in Zaporizhzhia region.
Russian advances on the frontline have slowed this year, despite intensified ballistic strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said his forces had recaptured 745 square km of Russian-held land this year across the southeastern front.
