Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Kyiv is monitoring Russian troop movements in the Zaporizhzhia region, where threats have been identified. Ukrainian forces successfully repelled a Russian offensive attempt. The city of Zaporizhzhia, located near the front line, has seen increased air strikes targeting civilian infrastructure. Russian forces are reportedly preparing for a future offensive with significant personnel, but recent Ukrainian incursions may have delayed these plans. Casualty figures are high on both sides, with estimates suggesting substantial losses since the start of the war.
