Russians are going on the offensive in Zaporizhzhia. Attack in the area of the key city

Russian forces have advanced near key villages in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to DeepState. The Institute for the Study of War noted that while Russia has made gains in Zaporizhzhia and Sumy, they have lost ground in other areas. The offensive around Hulyaipole continues, with Russian troops capturing two villages, but overall progress remains limited. Ukrainian forces have stabilized their front lines and regained more territory than they lost. Despite the advances, Russian forces have faced significant losses across the front, with a net loss of territory in October.
