Russian Forces Advance in Dnipropetrovsk
Russian forces have advanced in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, capturing Novoheorhiivka, the Russian defense ministry claims. U.S. estimates say Russian control is under 1%. Ukraine did not comment. Russia controls significant parts of Ukraine, with ongoing military actions in the east and reported strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.
In a recent development, Russian forces have reportedly advanced in the eastern part of Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, seizing the village of Novoheorhiivka near the Donetsk border, according to the Russian defense ministry.
Despite the claims by the Russian forces, U.S. assessments suggest that Russia controls less than 1% of the Dnipropetrovsk area. It's noteworthy that this particular region is not among those that Russia has claimed as its own territory.
Ukraine's DeepState battlefield-mapping project indicated Russian troops were 1-2 kilometers from Novoheorhiivka as of Tuesday. The Ukrainian military has not publicly responded to these assertions, maintaining its usual silence on their ongoing territorial skirmishes.
