Ukrainians push hard: Russians retreat in all 3 directions

The Zaporizhia direction has transitioned into a high-intensity theater where Ukrainian special forces have initiated a riverbank counter-offensive to neutralize Russian infiltration attempts. The Russian tactical objective centers on securing the topographic heights between Stepnohirsk and Primorske to bring Zaporizhia within sustained tube artillery range. Utilizing coordinated drone strikes and elite infantry units, Ukraine successfully intercepted Russian pushes along three primary axes: the riverbank, the M18 highway, and the Lukianivske sector. Special operations resulted in the elimination of established infiltration points and the recapture of Lukianivske, effectively disrupting the Russian attempt to consolidate a staging ground for a deeper offensive. This successful interdiction preserves the integrity of regional logistics and prevents the establishment of Russian fire control over the provincial capital.
