Ukraine expands territory by reclaiming 130 sq km along front line.

Ukraine has reclaimed an additional 130 sq km of territory from Russian forces along the southern frontline, bringing the total to 243 sq km since the start of Ukraine's offensive actions. However, the situation on the battlefield has not changed significantly over the past week, with heavy fighting still ongoing in the eastern part of the front line. Ukraine started counteroffensive actions in the east last week, reclaiming 1 to 2 kilometers each in several areas. Russia's RIA news agency reported that Ukraine forces were not conducting offensive operations on Artyomovsk.
