He said this on Espreso TV. 

"In the Tavria sector, the Defense Forces are systematically driving the enemy troops out of their positions and continuing to advance. In particular, in the Berdiansk sector, our units were able to advance 2 km deep into the enemy's defense. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are now consolidating the gained ground. We are conducting aerial reconnaissance of the area and delivering artillery fire on the identified targets. We are also conducting counter-battery combat and demining," said Shershen.

The Armed Forces captain emphasized that the Defense Forces continue to work on eliminating the Russian defense lines.

"I want to emphasize that the Russian troops are putting up fierce resistance. However, we are systematically pressuring them in certain areas of the frontline. We are pushing through their defenses and destroying the enemy's combat potential. Over the past day, the Russian army's irrecoverable losses amounted to 72 people, and 166 people were wounded," he added.

  • Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has lost 231,030 soldiers, 7,908 armored vehicles and 3,602 operational and tactical drones in the war in Ukraine.

  • Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of NATO's Military Committee, compared the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive to the Allied landings in Normandy in World War II.

  • The daily report of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says that Russian pro-war bloggers are concerned that Ukrainian forces are able to force the Dnipro River in the Kherson region.
