Kyiv has made 'significant' progress in recent weeks, as Ukraine's military claims its first breakthrough of Russian defenses in Zaporizhzhia.
" around the Zaporizhzhia village of Robotyne, which has been a hotspot of fighting in the south over recent weeks.."There is a very big difference between the first and second line of defense," Tarnavskiy said, but Maul toldKyiv said in late August that it had seized control of Robotyne back from the Kremlin.
Geolocated footage showed that Ukrainian fighters have progressed along the trench line west of Verbove, a village just to the east of Robotyne, the Institute for the Study of War think tank said on Wednesday. On Thursday, Ukraine's General Staff said its forces had success south of Robotyne, and to the west of the neighboring village of Verbove. But in a statement also published on Thursday, Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces had"repelled 14 attacks" around Robotyne and Verbove over the past 24 hours.
Progress through southern Ukraine has been painstakingly slow, with extensive mines and thoroughly prepared Russian defenses holding up Kyiv's advance. More than three months into the counteroffensive efforts—which Ukraine has said it had hoped to begin earlier in the year—another set of obstacles could quickly come into Kyiv's path.
Scarce ammunition supplies and deteriorating weather conditions could trip up Kyiv's progress, Maul said, making the smashing up of Russia's defenses by the end of the year a"very difficult" goal.rasputitsa.
