Pentagon: Ukraine Moves Forward In Kherson Region

The AFU are also consolidating their gains in the Kharkiv Region.

The Pentagon assesses that the Ukrainians are “consolidating their gains” from retaking territory in the area of Kharkiv, also advancing in the Kherson region.

This is reported by CNN with a reference to Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder.

“In the north, what we assess is that the Ukrainians are consolidating their gains after taking back significant territory, and that the Russians are attempting to shore up their defensive lines after having been pushed back,” he said.

Ryder also said that Ukrainian forces are making “deliberate, calculated forward movement” with their counteroffensive in the Kherson area.

“As always, our focus continues to remain on providing them the support that they need in their fight,” the speaker said.
