Counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – the situation in the Zaporozhye direction 

APU went on the offensive in early June. In the first weeks, the Ukrainian army managed to liberate eight settlements at the junction of Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions. During July 1, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the Russians themselves, made progress, in particular, to the northwest of Velikaya Novoselka .

Difficult for the Russians the situation in the Bakhmut direction . There, the defenders move to control all the necessary heights on the flanks of Bakhmut. The fighting is already in the city. This forced the invaders to transfer additional forces to the settlement, removing them from other sectors of the front . 

Fedorov on the situation in the Zaporozhye direction

In the near future, the fall of the defense of the Russian invaders in the area of ​​Malaya Tokmachka and Robotino is also expected. According to expert Alexander Kovalenko, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already launched attacks on the second and third lines of defense of the Russians in the Zaporozhye direction, which is best equipped by Russia. 

The Zaporozhye direction opens the way for cutting the so-called “land corridor” between Russia and the occupied Crimea and, in general, for the de-occupation of the peninsula itself.
