“Ukrainian officials directly stated today that the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive in southern Ukraine is a methodical operation to degrade Russian forces and logistics, rather than one aimed at immediately recapturing large swathes of territory,” the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says.

According to the US, in the coming weeks Russia could hold pseudo-referenda in Kherson, Zaporizhzia and in Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions. The Ukrainian authorities are urging Ukrainians in the Russian-occupied territories to evacuate, and if they choose to stay, not to take part in any “referenda” under any pressure or duress. If they do take part, they risk confiscation of their property, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk said, as quoted by UNIAN. A growing number of people have been leaving the occupied territories during the past week, she said.
