The Ukrainian army claims to have pushed Russian forces back from the banks of the Dnipro river, marking a significant advance for Kyiv's forces after a disappointing counteroffensive. The Ukrainian military spokesperson did not specify whether they had complete control of the area or if the Russians had retreated. This development could allow for a deeper offensive in the south and offer protection to Ukrainian towns and villages on the river's western shores. Meanwhile, drone attacks have intensified, with both Kyiv and Moscow being targeted.
