40+ Villages, 880 km² Seized–Putin’s Summer Offensive Expands Beyond Crimea and 4 Annexed Regions

Russia's summer offensive is gathering momentum, with Moscow claiming control over 880 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since May—its most significant advance in over a year. Russian troops have entered Dnipropetrovsk for the first time and now reportedly hold the entire Luhansk region. Frontline activity has surged from Kharkiv in the northeast to Zaporizhzhia in the south. In Donetsk, forces captured the village of Chervona Zirka, with servicemen citing both military and humanitarian missions. As territorial gains expand beyond previously annexed regions, Ukraine faces growing pressure to hold its lines amid limited manpower and delayed Western support. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
