A regiment commander says Ukraine's recent advances were a tactical operation to stabilize the front — not the sweeping counteroffensive being celebrated online.
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said Ukraine struck 58 military targets inside Russia during May while defending against escalated Russian offensive actions in the Zaporizhzhia direction.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Svitlana eliminated a Russian assault team that had infiltrated behind Ukrainian positions on the southern Zaporizhzhia front.
