Ukraine's Strategic Advances and Defenses in the War Against Russia

Ukrainian forces have reportedly expanded their foothold on the Russian-controlled bank of the Dnieper river in southern Ukraine, according to a war map published by the Institute for the Study of War. The map shows advances made by Kyiv's troops on the east bank of the Dnieper, with confirmed gains in western Zaporizhia Oblast and Kherson Oblast. Ukrainian forces continue their activity in the region, while Russian forces conduct glide-bomb strikes on the west bank of the river.
