Ukrainian forces have begun a counter-offensive in the Zaporozhye region, particularly around the areas of Hulajpole and Ternuwate. This move comes as they exploit a significant disruption in Russian communication, brought about by the cutoff of their unregistered Starlink satellite internet terminals by SpaceX. Reports indicate that most Russian forces stationed along the Janczur River have transitioned to a defensive posture in response to the Ukrainian advances.

Meanwhile, Russian troops are continuing their offensive operations, primarily focusing on the Donbas area specifically north of Pokrovsk and towards Kostiantynivka. However, despite their efforts, they have not achieved any significant territorial gains in the past week. The situation in Kostiantynivka has intensified with fierce urban fighting, further indicating the volatility and complexity of the ongoing conflict in the region.

The ongoing clashes in Zaporozhye, coupled with stalled advances in Donbas, signify a critical juncture in the conflict, showcasing the effectiveness of Ukrainian strategies against the backdrop of persistent challenges faced by Russian forces.
