Ukraine continues its counteroffensive in the north-eastern direction

Citing intelligence, the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain says that Ukrainian troops continue to pressure Russian forces northeast of the country and the southern Kherson region. However, the department's traditional summary notes that the Russian forces have managed to advance in two directions over the past week towards Bakhmut, which has 2km left and sustained heavy shelling damage. Russian forces likely include units of the private military company Wagner, including recruits recently recruited from prisons.
