BREAKING: Russia says that Ukraine has launched a significant attack to break through its defenses on the war’s eastern front lines. It is not immediately clear if this marks the beginning of Kyiv's major counteroffensive.
There was no immediate reaction from the Ukrainian government or top officials, but the strategic communications branch of the country’s armed forces cautioned against alleged Russian misinformation.
Alexander Kots, military correspondent with the pro-Kremlin newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, reported “active battles” in two directions early Monday near the Donetsk town of Vuhledar as well as Bakhmut, which Russia recently claimed. “There is a tough fight going on,” he said, adding that Ukraine was moving reserve units toward the village.
