Ukrainian Forces Achieve Breakthrough in Verbove, Utilizing Captured Russian Tanks and Armored Vehicles

Ukrainian forces have reportedly broken through in Verbove, according to the general leading the counteroffensive along the southern front line. While the advance is slower than expected, Ukrainian officials believe they are making inroads on the southern front in the war with Russia. The ultimate goal is to break Russia's "land bridge" connecting its territory in the east with annexed Crimea. The general also mentioned the presence of the Wagner mercenary group and the importance of striking Crimea for the success of Ukraine's counteroffensive.

Ukrainian Troops Advance Past Russian Trenchlines

Ukrainian troops have crossed the first of the three main defensive lines, known as the Surovikin Line, constructed by Russian forces in southern Ukraine. The 82nd Brigade of the Ukrainian air-assault forces successfully crossed the outermost trench just outside Verbove in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The goal of the Ukrainian brigades is to flank Novoprokopivka by liberating Verbove and ultimately break through the entire Surovikin Line to reach Tokmak. The Russian garrison in Verbove may be at risk as the Ukrainian brigades are powerful and fresh, and the arrival of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division might not be enough to save them.
