DNYUZ/New York Times: Ukraine on the Attack in the South in What a U.S. Official Says Appears to Be a Main Thrust in Counteroffensive
Ukrainian forces intensified attacks overnight in the southern region of Zaporizhzhia in what a senior U.S. official said on Thursday appeared to be a main thrust of a Ukrainian counteroffensive, a long-anticipated operation that carries high stakes for Kyiv and its Western allies.
The assessment came days after fighting farther to the east, in the Donetsk region, prompted American officials to say that the counteroffensive may have begun. The U.S. official who spoke on Thursday requested anonymity to discuss operational details.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that Moscow’s forces had repelled a Ukrainian attack near Novodarivka, in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who have said they will remain silent on details of the counteroffensive for operational secrecy.
U.S. and Ukrainian officials have said the counteroffensive would involve attacks on multiple locations, as Kyiv’s forces push forward, probing for vulnerabilities in Russia’s defensive lines.

Nooooo, say it ain't so. That's what you get when you do a direct attack against a fortified defense belt.
You expected any less?
The guys who said this was a great idea suck. Or talked this as something to look forward to.. What self serving creeps I bet the guys at Ypres were told the same.
Melitopol or bust. I'm guessing the latter.
