With every passing evening the intensity of Ukraine’s counteroffensive along the southern front has increased. At this point it’s clear that Ukraine is not concentrating on breaking through Russian defenses in a single point, but is conducting numerous separate, but coordinated assaults. 

Over the course of Sunday, Ukraine has apparently liberated numerous towns and villages that have been on the front line in Zaporizhzhia oblast for months. They’ve also pushed Russian forces out of some of the advanced “screening” lines that had been closer to the front and in general demonstrated success at numerous points.

The degree of success has varied from a location just south of Orikhiv, near the village of Robotyne, where dislodging Russian forces has proved difficult, to closer to Velyka Novosilka where a whole string of villages has been liberated and reports show Ukrainian forces still advancing.
