The tide is shifting: Ukraine now gains ground faster that Russia

Ukrainian forces have transitioned to an offensive phase in the Dnipropetrovsk direction, reclaiming approximately 450 square kilometers of territory. The operation proceeded through structured phases, beginning with the breach of Russian defensive lines at Ternove, Kalynivske, and Berezove. Subsequent maneuvers exploited these gaps, leading to the penetration of Novomykolaivka and Novohryhorivka via coordinated mechanized and drone-supported assaults. The speed of the advance has compromised Russian logistics in the Uspenivka hub, effectively neutralizing the possibility of a Russian spring offensive in this sector. This shift indicates a significant regaining of the operational initiative by Ukrainian air assault and mechanized units.
