Ukraine’s forces believe they have broken through Russia’s strongest line of defence and will now be able to advance more quickly, a commander fighting in the south has said.
Kyiv’s troops are poised to capture the village of Robotyne in the southern sector of the frontline, a victory that commanders say could unlock Russia’s formidable defences.
Elsewhere on Ukraine’s battlefields, two Ukrainian jets collided during a training flight, killing three pilots, including an ace who had ambitions to fly F-16s.
