Ukrainian forces have liberated three square kilometers around Bakhmut over the past week, Maliar said.

According to the official, Ukraine has regained a total of 47 square kilometers of land in this area since the start of the summer counteroffensive.

Russia has carried out unsuccessful attempts to take back lost positions in Donetsk Oblast’s Klishchiivka, Kurdiumivka, and Ozarianivka, also trying to restrain the advance of Ukrainian troops toward occupied Bakhmut, Maliar said.

In eastern Ukraine, Russia also reportedly failed to advance in the areas of Novoiehorivka and Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast as well as Donetsk Oblast’s Sieverne, Avdiivka, Marinka, Krasnohorivka, and Novomykhailivka.

“In the Kupiansk direction (Kharkiv Oblast), our defense forces repel several enemy attacks per day and prevent the enemy from advancing,” the deputy minister added.

In the country’s south, Ukrainian forces continue the offensive operation toward Russian-occupied Melitipol, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, entrenching themselves at the regained territory.

“The enemy in the south is suffering significant losses in personnel, weapons, and equipment, redeploying its units and troops and using reserves,” concludes Maliar’s Telegram report.

"The enemy does not cease its counterattacks, but achieves no success because we know everything about our enemy and work in advance to destroy their manpower and military equipment," Cherevatyi said on television.

Russia further lost one Gvozdika artillery system, three armored vehicles, a D-30 howitzer, an anti-aircraft gun S-60, a drone "Zala," eight ammunition storages, and seven transport vehicles, Cherevatyi said.

Ukraine's military continues to engage Russian forces in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk oblasts during its ongoing counteroffensive. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on the night of June 27 that the troops have "made progress in all areas."

Ukrainian forces have also advanced on both the northern and southern flanks of Bakhmut and liberated the village of Rivnopil in Donetsk Oblast on June 26.
