On Monday, Ukraine’s highest military command reported severe fighting in frontline hot locations. In contrast, the defense ministry reported the liberation of numerous villages from Russian occupation in the first stages of a counter-offensive.

Ukraine’s armed forces general staff reported 25 fights over the past day near Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Maryinka, and Bilohorivka in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
On Monday, Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar uploaded a photo of soldiers hoisting the Ukrainian flag in Donetsk’s Storozheve hamlet, thanking the 35th Separate Brigade of Marines for liberating it.

Reuters couldn’t confirm the report, and the village’s reclaiming was unclear.

Ukraine reported advances on Blahodatne, Neskuchne, and Makarivka on Sunday. Blahodatne and Neskuchne border Storozheve.

Russian officials were silent. While Ukrainian forces took Blahodatne and Neskuchne, famous Russian military bloggers reported fighting for Makarivka.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive began, both sides claimed to have inflicted huge losses on their enemy.

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Ukraine had failed to penetrate Russian defenses and that his defense ministry had destroyed many Leopard combat tanks and other Western-supplied weapons.

Over the past week, Ukraine’s military has reported daily fighting victories.

“Over the last week in the Bakhmut direction, the Russian invaders suffered significant losses,” the general staff announced Monday.

On Sunday, a Russian fire in Avdiivka killed one civilian and wounded two, according to the Donetsk governor.

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Kyiv intended to discuss the “aircraft coalition” with its partners at the next Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting on June 15 in Brussels.

Zelenskiy has long requested F-16 fighter jets and pilot training for Ukraine.

“At this stage, we are talking about training pilots… and our technicians and engineers,” Reznikov told Ukraine’s Military Media Centre.
