BBC News : Ukrainian forces have acknowledged that Russia’s military has crossed into the eastern industrial region of Dnipropetrovsk and is trying to establish a foothold.<\/p>\n

“This is the first attack of such a large scale in Dnipropetrovsk region,” Viktor Trehubov, of the Dnipro Operational-Strategic Group of Troops told the BBC, although he made clear their advance had been stopped.<\/p>\n

Russia has claimed throughout the summer that it has entered the area, as its forces try to push deeper into Ukrainian territory from the Donetsk region.<\/p>\n

In early June, Russian officials said an offensive had begun in Dnipropetrovsk, although the latest Ukrainian reports suggest they have barely breached the regional border.<\/p>\n

Any Russian advance into Dnipropetrovsk would be a blow to Ukrainian morale, as a US-led diplomatic bid to bring the war to an end appears to be flagging despite President Donald Trump meeting Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Alaska.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian DeepState mapping project assessed on Tuesday that Russia had now occupied two villages just inside the region, Zaporizke and Novohryhorivka.<\/p>\n

However, Ukraine’s armed forces general staff denied that was the case. The military “continue to control” Zaporizke, it said in a statement, and “active hostilities are also ongoing in the area of the village of Novohryhorivka”.<\/p>\n

Moscow has not laid claim to Dnipropetrovsk, unlike Donetsk and Ukraine’s four other eastern regions, but it has attacked its big cities, including the regional capital Dnipro.<\/p>\n

Before the war Dnipropetrovsk had a population of more than three million and was Ukraine’s second biggest centre of heavy industry after the Donbas, which is made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.<\/p>\n

Although Russian forces have made slow progress in capturing territory and have suffered very high casualties, they have made recent gains in Donetsk.<\/p>\n

A small infantry group made a sudden 10km (six mile) push beyond Ukraine’s defensive lines near Dobropillia earlier this month, but latest indications suggest their advance has been halted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
