The Russian Army stated on Tuesday that it was carrying out “massive strikes” against Ukrainian forces on all fronts.
"Russian air, ballistic and artillery forces are carrying out massive strikes against Ukrainian Armed Forces units in all operational areas,” the Russian Defence Ministry said in its daily report.
He mentioned, in particular, the bombardments near Sloviansk, Kostiantynivka and Bakhmut in the east of Ukraine, in the regions of Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia, in the south, as well as in Kharkiv, in the north-east where Ukraine has led a blistering counteroffensive forcing Russian forces to withdraw from most of the region.

Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports that Ukraine is pushing its counteroffensive eastwards into the Donbas region. Soldiers from the Ukrainian Armed forces posted images of themselves in Svyatohirsk, claiming they had fully recaptured it.
There are currently fierce battles taking place in Lyman, a town east of Izyum, which is of strategic significance for control of Donbas.
Ukraine said on Monday that it had recaptured some 6,000 km2 of territory on several fronts thanks to a counter-offensive launched in early September.
