The Ukrainian army launched its counter-offensive on at least four places on the front on Monday, the Think Tank Institute for the Study of War reported in a daily update on the war in Ukraine. In the east of the country, southwest of Bachmut, Kyiv is said to have gained 9 square kilometers in territory.
According to Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maljar, the Ukrainian army has also carried out counter-attacks in the border region between Donetsk and Zaporizhia and in the west of the Zaporizhia region. There, according to Russian military bloggers, Kyiv has achieved minor successes.
Sources within the Russian Defense Ministry also claim that Ukraine has also launched a counter-offensive near the town of Lyman, located in the Donetsk region. It is not known how successful this attack was. In total, Kyiv would have gained almost 29 square kilometers of territory last week, according to Maljar.
The Russian army also carried out several attacks on Monday, including rocket and drone attacks on the regions of Sumy, Donetsk and Zaporizhia. In Sumy, a home was hit by a Shahed drone, killing two people and injuring 19 others.
