Russia Claims First Push into Central Ukraine: A New Phase in the War?
Russia claims its forces have entered the Dnipropetrovsk region for the first time, a strategic advance that would significantly challenge Ukrainian defenses. This alleged incursion follows recent Russian gains in Sumy and near Lyman, putting further pressure on Ukrainian forces already stretched thin amidst stalled peace talks. Ukraine denies the Russian advance, while the extent of any potential incursion remains unverified. The conflicting claims highlight the ongoing intensity of the conflict and the continued pressure on Kyiv.
