Ukraine's military confirms liberation of Novodarivka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Ukrainian forces liberated the village of Novodarivka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on June 4, the Separate Zaporizhzhia Territorial Defense Brigade confirmed[1] on June 12. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote[2] yesterday about the settlement's liberation, citing Ukrainian and Russian sources. Novodarivka was reportedly liberated in combined efforts by a mechanized unit and a combined unit of the Zaporizhzhia Brigade.
According to the announcement, numerous attempts by Russian forces to regain the settlement were unsuccessful. Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said[3] that Ukrainian troops advanced between 300 to 1,500 meters in the country's south. In the east, the military confirmed the liberation of Storozheve[4], Donetsk Oblast on June 12, and Blahodatne, Neskuchne, and Makarivka[5] in the same oblast on June 11.
The reports about Ukraine's gains came shortly after President Volodymyr Zelensky said [6]the much-anticipated counteroffensive against Russian forces was already ongoing.
According to the ISW, Russia is downplaying recent Ukrainian advances in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, referring to them as capturing "grey zones."
