Russia eyes Ukraine's fortress belt' after fall of Chasiv Yar
Briefly

Russia has intensified its military operations in Ukraine, successfully capturing strategic locations such as Chasiv Yar and pushing into Dnipropetrovsk. Following the fall of Bakhmut, Russian forces have made significant advances, claiming conquests in multiple regions. The assault on Kyiv resulted in heavy civilian casualties, with drone strikes causing significant loss of life. Ukraine retaliated by targeting Russian supply lines and infrastructure, complicating Russia's operations and highlighting the ongoing intensity of the conflict.
During a difficult week in Ukraine's ground war, Russian troops completed their conquest of Chasiv Yar, a high ground in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, and claimed to have breached the outskirts of Kupiansk.
Russia's Ministry of Defence reported that its paratroopers overran Chasiv Yar on July 31, marking a significant strategic victory in the ongoing conflict.
The capture of Hochivka and advances in Dnipropetrovsk follow months of costly battles, underscoring the human and material toll on Russian forces.
Ukraine responded with deep strikes on Russian transport networks and energy hubs, aiming to counter the recent gains made by Russian forces.
