"Russia Adapts Battlefield Tactics in Ukraine War"
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.
