In the #Avdiivka direction north of #Krasnohorivka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine knocked out Russian invaers from several strongholds and returned the previously lost positions . 🇺🇦💪
Probably the first visual confirmation of US-delivered DPICM cluster ammunition in Ukrainian services. It shows a failed Russian advance near Krasnohorivka.
From the UK def min daily report on Ukraine: #Ukrainian#Airborne forces have 'made small advances east from the village of #Krasnohorivka , near #Donetsk , which sits on the old Line of Control. They say this is 'one of the first instances since Russia’s February 2022 invasion that Ukrainian forces have highly likely recaptured an area of territory occupied by Russia since 2014'.
"The attacks signal the approach of a pivotal point in the war. If the Ukrainian counteroffensive liberates a significant swath of territory and sets Russian forces back on their heels, it would offer hope of an early end to the conflict. Failure could doom Ukraine to a protracted gruelling struggle with no end in sight, and international pressure to cede territory."
