Russian Forces Advance in Zaporizhzhia Region
On June 27, 2025, Russian troops made advances in the Zaporizhzhia region, specifically in the village of Stepove within the Vasylivka district. This information was reported by the Ukrainian resource DeepState, which recently updated its interactive maps.
The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) corroborated the reports of Russian movement toward western Zaporizhzhia in its latest assessment. Geolocated videos released on June 27 indicate that Russian forces have progressed along the E-105 highway from Vasylivka to Kamianske, with additional footage from June 26 suggesting success for the Russians southeast of Mala Tokmachka.
Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported in its evening briefing that over the past day, the enemy, supported by aviation, launched three attacks on the defensive positions near Kamianske but failed to achieve success.
Reports indicate that the situation remains tense, with heightened military activity in various locations across the front. As of now, there are no additional details regarding casualties or the broader implications of these movements for ongoing operations in the region.
In related news, previous ISW analyses highlighted the only section of the front where Ukrainian forces had seen success, although further details were not disclosed.
These developments in Zaporizhzhia underscore the ongoing volatility of the conflict in Ukraine as both sides continue to vie for control in key strategic areas, reports 24brussels.
