Ukraine's counteroffensive, which started in early June, has seen fierce clashes along the Zaporizhzhia front line in the south of the country.
Ukrainian forces may have"broken through the most difficult line of Russian defenses" in the contested Zaporizhzhia region of southern Ukraine, where Kyiv has been focusing much of its counteroffensive efforts, according to a new assessment.
Soldiers of the 68th Jaeger Brigade"Oleksa Dovbush" walk in a newly liberated village on June 10, 2023, in Blahodatne, Ukraine. Kyiv's forces may have"broken through the most difficult line of Russian defenses" in the contested Zaporizhzhia region of eastern Ukraine, according to a new assessment.
Although these defenses may be weaker than those Ukraine has already passed through, they will still pose"a significant challenge," the think tank added.
