Mykola Urshalovich, the representative of the National Guard of Ukraine, reported that during the week, the Ukrainian army on the southern front advanced by almost two kilometers.
He told journalists that the 15th Karadag brigade and units of regular troops have moved forward towards Melitopol occupied by Russian troops.
Over the past seven days, soldiers “with the support of tanks have advanced 1,700 meters to the south and southeast,” Uršalović said. Ukrainian troops are advancing despite dense minefields and shelling, he added.
Uršalović added that in the Berdyansk sector, the National Guard troops continue to hold their positions, which are constantly being fired upon by the enemy. He also informed that the National Guard units are going to expand the attack in the Avdiyivka sector.
Last month, Ukraine launched a long-awaited counteroffensive after stockpiling Western weapons and increasing its offensive forces. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said last week that the slow delivery of promised weapons was hampering Ukraine’s counteroffensive and called on the United States and other allies to provide Ukraine with long-range weapons and artillery.
