Ukraine Reclaims a Village in the East as Part of CounteroffensiveEvgeniy Maloletka—AP — Ukraine's forces have recaptured a village in the country’s east after intense battles with Russian troops, the military said Friday as the invaded nation pursues a multi-pronged counteroffensive.
Ukrainian forces launched their much-anticipated counteroffensive more than three months ago. The reported victory in the Donetsk province village illustrates progress and the challenges they face even with supplies of NATO-standard gear and Western weapons. The brigade initially contested a statement by Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar saying the village was reclaimed but confirmed early Friday that it had recaptured Andriivka.Maliar said Ukraine had regained 50 square kilometers of land around Bakhmut since the start of the counteroffensive in June.
Ukrainian forces are trying to envelop Bakhmut from the south and the north and have gained ground meter by meter in the past three months. Military analysts and U.S. officials have questioned the expenditure of forces around the city, but Ukrainian military leaders have said they were successfully exhausting Russian forces by keeping them fixed in position.
