ANOTHER VILLAGE FREED: The Ukraine counteroffensive, now 100 days long, continues to make slow, albeit steady, progress in its goal of advancing far enough in the east and south to sever the land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, thereby cutting off Russian troops from their vital supply lines. Today, Ukraine’s General Staff announced what it called “partial success in the area of Klishchievka.”
“During the assault operations had success and mastered the Andriivka of the Donetsk region, causing the enemy significant losses in manpower and equipment,” the General Staff said on its Facebook page. The village of Andriivka is about six miles south of the destroyed city of Bakhmut, where Ukraine is trying to surround Russian forces and keep them tied down so they can’t reinforce troops in the south.
