Ukraine says it stopped Russian push toward Zaporizhzhia, citing 300+ casualties
Ukraine’s military says its forces, including the Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) and the Tymura special forces, halted a Russian offensive toward Zaporizhzhia as part of a three‑month southern defense, with HUR reporting over 300 Russian soldiers killed or wounded and 39 captured; the exact halt area was not disclosed. The claim comes as winter-front activity has slowed and Ukrainian units along the southern front press forward amid the ongoing occupation of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
