Moscow’s maneuvers seem to focus on progress on the ground in the eastern regions, i.e. in the region of Bakhmut, in Donbass, now almost entirely in Russian hands. The daily bulletin of Kiev speaks instead of nine Ukrainian attacks in the last twenty-four hours, always in the eastern territories. One of these would have shot down a Moscow fighter and among the objectives achieved there would also be the destruction of seven drones.
