Ukrainian gains have been reported in several areas, though heavy losses are being sustained by troops participating in the offensive.
With Russian sources continually providing spurious claims of Ukraine’s defeat, a lack of response from Ukrainian sources has forced media and analysts to rely on a skewed perspective, with some deferring judgment and predictions until after Ukrainian and American/British announcements are made.
Currently, it is believed that Ukraine is achieving a slow, tactical success across the frontline, though taking heavy casualties in the process. Official reports are expected by the end of the weekend.
