New list
Russian troops advance into frontline town
Russian troops are currently advancing in the strategically important small town of Chassiv Yar. The enemy has therefore ordered the evacuation of children and their guardians in several Ukrainian cities.
"The enemy is bombarding the towns and villages of these communities every day. That is why it was decided to bring children to safety with their parents or legal representatives," said the governor of the Donetsk region in the east. He published a list of towns and villages where Russian troops had recently reported ground gains.
According to military blogs, they have advanced into the small town of Chassiv Yar, for example. They have crossed the canal in several places and are trying to establish themselves in the town. The US Institute for the Study of War (ISW) also wrote on Saturday evening that the Russian military was west of the Siversky Donets-Donbass Canal. Ukraine had already had to give up the eastern part of the city on the other side of the canal in July.
140 individual battles
The situation reports speak of 140 individual battles since Saturday morning on the fronts in the east and south of Ukraine. The high number indicates intense fighting.
The Ukrainian army has long been on the defensive in ground battles and has had to retreat in several places in recent weeks. In May, the Russian armed forces opened a second front near the city of Kharkiv. This forced the enemy to deploy troops there, which are now missing on other sections of the front.
No breakthrough
Despite this, the Russian army has not yet achieved a breakthrough in its summer offensive.
The Ukrainian authorities reported air strikes on Sunday night, stating that all five Russian combat drones that approached had been repelled. Two cruise missiles, however, had not been hit. The Ukrainian railroad reported damage to its rail network.
