The recent counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine led to such actions by the army of the aggressor country. In addition, in the coming weeks, the offensive of the Ukrainian army will further threaten the Russian occupiers in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

About it report analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

ISW notes that Russian troops are strengthening air defense systems in the Kherson region. It is noted that this probably happened as a response to continuous successful attacks by Ukrainian aircraft south of Davydov Brod.

Analysts predict that local Ukrainian counterattacks will continue to push back Russian troops, especially along the borders of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the coming weeks may further threaten the occupied Kherson.

In addition, successful counterattacks by the Ukrainian defenders in the Zaporozhye region are forcing the enemy to urgently overturn reinforcements to this section of the front line. ISW analysts believe the occupiers are moving troops into the area to defend against continuous Ukrainian counterattacks on Melitopol that could threaten Russian control of the city.

As reported, the 117th day of the heroic opposition of the Ukrainian nation to the Russian military invasion began. Over the past day, the Russians shelled more than 70 Ukrainian settlements. The occupiers continue to carry out assault operations in several directions. For more details on the situation at the front, see morning summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on June 20.
