As part of a multi-pronged counteroffensive,바카라 웹사이트Ukrainian forces바카라 웹사이트have recaptured a village in the country라이브 바카라 east after intense battles with Russian troops, the country라이브 바카라 military said Friday.
The village of Andriivka — about 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of the Russia-occupied town of Bakhmut in the eastern Donetsk region — is the latest gain for Kyiv in a counteroffensive that has seen slow but steady gains by Ukrainian forces.
The announcement of reclaiming Andriivka came early Friday from the General Staff of Ukraine라이브 바카라 armed forces.
The 3rd Assault Brigade said it captured the village after surrounding the Russian garrison in Andriivka in what it described as a “lightning operation” and destroying it over two days. It described the capture of Andriivka as a breakthrough on the southern flank of Bakhmut and “key to success in all further directions.”
Just hours before confirming the capture of Andriivka early Friday, the brigade contested a statement by Ukraine라이브 바카라 Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar saying the village was reclaimed.
“It was difficult and yesterday라이브 바카라 situation changed very dynamically several times,” said Maliar.
The fighting in and around Bakhmut, a salt-mining town now in complete ruins, marked the war라이브 바카라 longest and bloodiest.
After Russian forces led by the Wagner Group military contractor바카라 웹사이트captured Bakhmut in May, Ukrainian forces sought to envelop it from the south and the north, gaining ground meter by meter (yard by yard) in the past three months.
Andriivka is located between the settlements of Kurdiumivka and the heights of Klischiivka in the Donetsk region, where fighting has been especially intense. Ukraine라이브 바카라 General Staff said Ukrainian forces also inflicted heavy losses on Russian troops as part of it라이브 바카라 offensive in nearby Klishchiivka village.
Maliar said that Ukraine had regained 50 square kilometres (19 square miles) of land around Bakhmut바카라 웹사이트since the start of the counteroffensive바카라 웹사이트in June.
