 Ukrainian forces make tactically significant advances in Zaporizia Oblast. Ukrainian forces have made important tactical gains in western Zaporizia Oblast, even as fierce fighting continues across multiple fronts. According to an analysis by the Institute for the Study of War, ISW, the ISW assessment indicates that Ukrainian troops have reached the northern outskirts of the village of Robotin, just 10 kilometers from the strategic city of Orykiv. Geo-located footage published on August 11 confirms that Ukrainian forces reached the northern outskirts of Robotin in western Zaporizia Oblast. The ISW states, though it notes, the extent of these new positions remains unclear. Still, the ISW urges that Ukraine's ability to advance on Robotin is significant, as Russian forces have invested heavily in defending the settlement. Elsewhere along the Zaporizia Front, the ISW reports that Ukrainian forces pushed into the village of Urazane along the border between Donetsk and Zaporizia Oblasts, citing Russian military bloggers. The Ukrainian general staff also confirmed continued counter-offensive operations around Bakhmut, Burdiansk and Melitopol. According to the ISW, these Ukrainian gains appear to be forcing Russia to shift reinforcements laterally across the Zaporizia Front, indicating the counter-offensive is degrading Russian defenses. UK Defense Ministry said that the Russian Federation has likely redeployed units of its airborne forces from Kursan region to Orykiv sector of Zaporizia region where fierce battles are taking place. Russia has likely redeployed airborne forces, units from the Kursan region to the heavily contested Orykiv sector in Zaporizia Oblast. The 58th Combined Arms Army has been in combat facing Ukrainian assaults since the 4th of June 2023, the report says. However, the redeployment will likely leave Russia's defenses near the east bank of the Nipro River, Vika, where they are increasingly harassed by Ukrainian amphibious raids, the report says.
