The Russian Ministry of Defense on Monday claimed they put down Ukraine's counteroffensive in the southern part of the Donbass.
From Reuters: Russia said on Monday its forces had thwarted a major Ukrainian offensive at five points along the front in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk and killed hundreds of troops while Ukraine accused Moscow of spreading lies.Ukraine told the media they're not going to tell them anything about their operations and won't say whether this marked the start of their counteroffensive. Nonetheless, it's expecting they're going to try to cut off Russia's land bridge from Crimea: Russia now controls at least 18% of what is internationally recognised to be Ukrainian territory, and has claimed four regions of Ukraine as Russian territory.The The Wall Street Journal has more: Military analysts have said that Ukraine’s primary goal would be to cut the land bridge that connects Russia to Crimea, the southern Ukrainian peninsula that Moscow seized in 2014. To do that, Kyiv would have to cut through Russian-held territory in the Zaporizhzhia region.This video is allegedly from Zaporizhzhia:
Ukraine released a dramatic Hollywood-style trailer for their counteroffensive around one week ago.
