Ukraine is achieving "tactical successes" in the south, with troops advancing up to 2km in each direction, officials have claimed.
Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said on the Telegram messaging app that troops were "engaged in active moves to advance in several directions at once".
"They are gradually moving forward. At the moment, the advance is up to 2 km (1.3 miles) in each direction," she said.
Meanwhile, Russia has not officially acknowledged Ukrainian advances and instead said it had inflicted heavy losses on Kyiv’s forces in the previous 24 hours.
