The Institute for the Study of War says Ukrainian light infantry has advanced to positions beyond anti-tank ditches and dragon’s teeth anti-tank obstacles that comprise the current Russian defensive layer. This comes ahead of the Ukrainian advance in western Zaporizhzhia region with Ukrainian forces likely to hold those positions. –
The ISW add there are also indications that Ukrainian forces have advanced up to Russian defensive positions between Robotyne and Novoprokopivka.
