Russia denies Ukrainian claims that their forces were pushed out of the front-line village of Andriivka near Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. The Russian defense ministry stated that their troops remain in control of Andriivka and neighboring villages, while repelling Ukrainian attacks. The situation on the ground remains unclear, with conflicting reports of ongoing fighting and the destruction of Andriivka. Ukraine's strategy is to spread Russian forces thin across multiple directions along the front line, hoping to exploit their vulnerabilities. President Zelenskyy is expected to visit Washington as Congress debates approving more aid.

Malyar blamed the miscommunication on a "communication breakdown" and clarified that there was some success in Andriivka, but fighting was still underway. Bakhmut, a town captured by Russian forces in May, has seen Ukrainian forces gradually pushing back, with Andriivka located around 14 kilometers south of Bakhmut.

The Ukrainian fighters have been focusing on the southern front lines, and the capture of Andriivka marks a significant milestone.

The counteroffensive has been ongoing for four months, with Ukraine aiming to break through Russia's well-fortified defenses in the annexed Zaporizhzhia region.
