Ukraine claims advances near Bakhmut as Kherson floods set to peak

As our diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams wrote earlier, the breach of the Kakhovka dam came just a day after Ukraine’s long-anticipated counter offensive appeared to get under way. And the country’s deputy defence minister has given a fresh update on troop movements today.

Forces have advanced from 200 to 1,100 metres in “various sections of the Bakhmut direction”, Hanna Maliar writes on the Telegram messaging app. She says her forces have switched from being on the defensive to the offensive in the area.

Maliar issued a similar update yesterday, without confirming whether the long-anticipated counter-offensive had officially begun.

We can’t independently verify the situation on the battlefield. There’s there’s been intense fighting in Bakhmut in recent months – and both Kyiv and Moscow have claimed to be in control of the city.
