Ukraine's Rapid Southern Advance: Liberating Towns and Driving Out Russian Forces

Ukrainian forces believe they have breached the most challenging line of Russian defenses in the south, allowing them to advance more rapidly towards the Sea of Azov. After raising the national flag in the settlement of Robotyne, Ukrainian troops aim to capture Berdiansk and eventually regain control of the Sea of Azov. President Zelenskiy dismissed concerns about the spread of Ukrainian forces and expressed confidence in reclaiming all seized Ukrainian territory. The commander leading the troops stated that they have entered territories with only Russian logistics groups, expecting less formidable defenses.
