Stepnohirsk Battle: Moscow Deploys Elite Divisions to Pressure Zaporizhzhia

Russia has deployed two elite airborne divisions and other units to the village of Stepnohirsk near Zaporizhzhia, as Ukrainian special forces (FERRATA) and drones mount a fierce defense. The village’s fall could allow Russian artillery and drones to bombard Zaporizhzhia more easily, making Stepnohirsk a potential turning point on the southern front. Ukrainian commanders note extreme risks, including very short life expectancy for mobilized Russian troops amid intense frontline fighting.

Ukraine advances on multiple fronts as counteroffensive regains territory

Ukraine’s counteroffensive is gaining momentum, reclaiming land in Zaporizhzhia and on other fronts (Kharkiv, Pokrovsk, Novopavlivka) with ISW noting advances roughly 80 km east of Zaporizhzhia city. Kyiv says momentum is aided by Russia’s disrupted access to Starlink, following actions to block Russian drone comms, and by Ukrainian cyber operations that disabled Russian Starlink terminals. Moscow reportedly struggles to secure launch positions for a planned summer 2026 offensive, as Kyiv presses forward across multiple fronts.
