In addition, Malia reported that Ukrainian defenders are gaining success in the village of Urozain on the southern front and are conducting offensive actions on the Militopol and Burdiansk fronts. Fighting continued in the settlement of Urozain last week. Ukraine forces gained certain successes there, she said. Also, Hannah Malia said Ukraine's armed forces had certain successes south and southeast of Staromeosk gaining ground in certain areas. Malia also confirmed that the Ukrainian military successfully completed a task on the Nipro River's left bank in Kursun Oblast. Certain units performed certain tasks there. Of course, we cannot say what exactly was done, but we coped with these tasks. We need to push back the enemy and clear up the territory in order to gain ground there, she said.
