Russia's summer offensive in Ukraine is stalling despite increased attacks, with gains slowing and some regions, like Sumy, experiencing setbacks. Russian forces face issues with poorly trained troops and overstretched resources, limiting their ability to make significant breakthroughs. Meanwhile, Russia continues to target civilian areas with devastating strikes, indicating a long-term goal to control the entire country.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the country's armed forces are making gains in their counteroffensive, saying in his nightly address Sunday that "our troops are advancing, position by position, step by step, we are moving forward." Russia's security service said on Monday it had thwarted a series of Ukrainian "sabotage and terrorist plots" targeting Russian-backed officials in Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine. Ukraine has liberated eight settlements in southern Ukraine over the past two weeks as its counteroffensive continues. Russia has highly likely started to relocate elements of its Dnipro Group of Forces (DGF) from the eastern bank of the Dnipro River to reinforce the Zaporizhzhia and Bakhmut areas.
