Ukrainian forces secure a vital foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro river, according to President Zelensky's chief of staff. Russia acknowledges Ukrainian presence in a village but minimizes the impact, anticipating their defeat. The development holds significance, potentially enabling the transfer of armoured vehicles and air defense systems across the river. Despite President Zelensky noting increased fighting near Avdiivka, Russia claims Ukrainian counteroffensive struggles to reclaim substantial territory. The situation remains tense, with implications for the ongoing conflict and the demilitarization efforts towards Crimea.
