Ukrainian forces have made a major breakthrough in their counteroffensive against Russian-occupied areas in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to a Russian-installed official.
Vladimir Rogov, a member of the military-civilian administration for the Russian-occupied areas of Zaporizhzhia, said in a Telegram post that the settlement of Piatykhatky was under Ukrainian operational control after a series of “wave attacks” by the Ukrainian military.
The update reported that despite the “colossal losses” suffered by the Ukrainian forces, the offensive yielded a result. This is one of the first gains made by Ukraine since it launched its counteroffensive earlier this month.
