Ukraine admits that Russia has entered a key region of Denipropetrovsk

The Ukrainian forces have acknowledged that the military in Russia have passed to the Eastern Industrial Region of Denipropetrovsk and are trying to establish support.

“This is the first attack on such a scale in the Denpropetrovsk region,” said Victor Trehubov of the DNiPro Troops Operational-Strategic, although he clarified that their advance had been stopped.

Russia claims throughout the summer that it has entered the area as its forces are trying to focus deeper in Ukrainian territory from the Donetsk region.

In early June, Russian officials said the offensive had launched in Denpropetrovsk, although the last Ukrainian reports suggest that they had almost not violated the regional border.

Any Russian progress in Denpropetrovska would be a blow to Ukrainian morality, as a diplomatic candidate led by the US to end the war seems to be marked, although President Donald Trump met with Russia Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

The Ukrainian Deepstate mapping project evaluated on Tuesday that Russia has already occupied two villages right in the region, Persrezke and Novo -Hihorivka.

However, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied it. The military is “continuing to control” Saporizke, it is said in a statement, and “active hostilities are also continuing in the area of ​​the village of Novkhrihorivna.”

Moscow has not claimed Denpropetrovsk, unlike Donetsk and the four other Eastern regions of Ukraine, but has attacked its large cities, including the regional capital DNIPRO.

Prior to the war, Denpropetrovsk had a population of over three million and was the second largest center of the heavy industry of Ukraine after Donbass, which was composed of the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Although the Russian forces have made slow progress in capturing the territory and have suffered many large casualties, they have made recent profits in Donetsk.

A small infantry group made a sudden 10 km (six miles) beyond Ukraine’s protective lines near Dobropilia earlier this month, but the latest indications suggest that their progress has been stopped.

Putin is reported to have told Trump that he would be ready to end the war if Ukraine surrendered the regions of the Donetsk region, which still controls, but many Ukrainians believe that the head of Russia has other plans.

Kohl Pavlo Palisa, deputy manager of the presidential service in Kiev, warned reporters in the United States in June that the Kremlin wants to occupy all Ukraine east of the Domipri River, which has halved Ukraine.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kalas also warned that the transmission of Ukrainian territory to Russia as part of a peace deal was a trap. “We forget that Russia has not made any concession and they are the ones who are an aggressor here,” she told the BBC.

After meeting Putin in Alaska and then President of Ukraine Volodimir Zelenski in Washington, Trump said last week that he had begun arrangements for a summit between the two leaders.

At the end of last week, hopes for the breakthrough were darkened.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov insisted that “the agenda (for a summit) is not ready at all” and is not a planned meeting.

He also said that any discussion about future security guarantees without the involvement of the Russian is “pointless”, although it would be units to the West.

Meanwhile, President Zelenski has called on his Western allies to strengthen efforts aimed at agreeing with future security guarantees in the event of a transaction.

He met with the head of the British Armed Forces, ADM Sir Tony Radakin in Kiev on Tuesday, and spokesman for the United Kingdom Prime Minister said the UK would be ready to put troops on the spot after hostilities were over.

German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said on Tuesday that security guarantees for Ukraine would allow first and foremost to allow the Ukrainian army to defend his country in the long run.

Mertz said Zelenski had made it clear that he was ready to sit with Putin and now was Moscow’s turn: “If the Russian president is serious to end the murder, he will accept the proposal.”
