to have captured after months of intense fighting—as well as parts of Russian-occupied Luhansk and Zaporizhia Oblasts.

Other options involve Ukraine attempting to encircle Russian troops in Bakhmut.Not a lot. The Ukrainian government remains tight-lipped about its plans, even after the Nova Kakhovka dam attack.
