Ukraine reports making headway against Russian forces in south

SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 19, 2023 | SaltWireKYIV - Kyiv's forces have made some headway against Russian forces in southern Ukraine but face new Russian attacks around the eastern town of Avdiivka, the Ukrainian military said on Thursday.

Verbove is a village a few kilometres east of Robotyne, a village recaptured by Ukraine last month as it tries to push south towards the Sea of Azov. Stupun told Ukrainian television the southern advance was still difficult because of Russian minefields and heavily fortified defences. When Ukrainian troops recaptured parts of the Kherson region last year, Russian forces pulled out of its biggest city, also called Kherson. But they only retreated as far as the other side of the Dnipro, from where they regularly shell the city.

"They do not stop their attempts to encircle the city , they continue to exert pressure there," Stupun said."They regrouped and launched new assaults there."
