🧵UA Counter Offensives
North West Of Kherson Frontline Update:
Ukrainian forces have liberated 3 settlements in the last week and are now pushing on heavily fortified Russian occupied settlements.
Due to these towns being well defended progress has slowed more forces are needed.
Details:
Ukrainian forces liberated the towns of Soldats'ke, Pravydyne and Oleksandrivka.
Ukrainian forces are advancing on the towns of Stanislav(S of Oleksndrivka), Myrolyubivka(S of Soldats'ke) and Kyselivka(SE of Blahodatne).
Progress continues but at a slower rate.
Reasons why progress has stalled is because Russians have spent months digging in and fortifying strategic towns in order to slow the eventual Ukrainian counterattacks.
Once these towns have fallen it is likely that the frontline moves several kilometres.
