Ukraine's Victorious Week: Tactical Breach and Counter-Offensive Propel Forces Forward

Ukraine has likely achieved a significant tactical breach on the southern front, according to a report by the US think tank Institute for the Study of War. Ukrainian forces have been widening a gap in the frontline, but have yet to complete a breakthrough of the defensive layer with heavy armor and vehicles. This success follows a week of notable military actions, including the seizure of the village of Robotyne and the destruction of Russia's advanced S-400 air-defense system in Crimea. Ukraine's strikes on a Crimean naval base also dealt a serious blow to Putin's Black Sea fleet.
