With the Russian cut off from Starlink, the Ukrainians have the edge for now. Instead of attempting a risky counteroffensive, Ukrainian troops in the southeast are fighting to firm up their defenses.
Russian forces attempted a risky pincer movement to outflank Ukrainian defenses near Velykomykhailivka in Dnipropetrovsk region, but Ukrainian drone operators and tank crews systematically destroyed the infiltrators, inflicting at least a dozen confirmed casualties and halting the advance.
