London, Thanasis Gavos
The British Ministry of Defense notes in the morning information that the Ukrainian counterattacks and the withdrawal of Russian forces on over-extended supply lines, have allowed the Ukrainians to retake cities and defensive positions up to 35 kilometers from Kyiv.
The ministry estimates that Ukrainian forces are likely to continue trying to repel the Russians on the northwest axis of Kiev, towards the Hostomel airport.

In the south, Ukrainian forces are still trying to bypass Mykolaiv as they try to head west towards Odessa, but their progress is delayed due to logistical difficulties and the Ukrainian resistance.
A statement from the Pentagon last night referred to “Ukrainian attacks” on “high-value” targets in Russian-occupied territories, such as the landing craft and ammunition depots in Berdyansk.
Such attacks are likely to continue, is the assessment of the British, which will result in forcing the Russian army to give priority to defending its supply chain.
This in turn means that the valuable renewal of forces will be limited. As a result, the Russians’ ability to conduct offensive operations will weaken and the already depressed morale of Russian soldiers will be further damaged.
