Russian Forces Resume Offensive in Zaporizhzhia Region In the Zaporizhzhia region near Stepnogorsk, the Russian military has restarted its offensive along the directions of Prymorske and Novoyakivka. Ukrainian Armed Forces have been actively countering these offensives in recent weeks, with multiple attempts near Stepnogorsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Despite Ukrainian efforts, the enemy managed to advance to the outskirts of Prymorske, reaching Lukyanivske, Novboikivske, and Novoyakivka. However, their progress was stalled after a week of inconclusive fighting, compelling them to pause their advance. In Prymorske, Ukrainian forces struggled to establish a defense and were pushed back nearly 4 km in just a few days. Meanwhile, near Novoyakivka, Russian forces have reclaimed Pavlivka and resumed their offensive in the villages surrounding this strategic enemy stronghold, which had already been significantly weakened by previous engagements.
