UCRÂNIA
Relatório de situação da guerra na Ucrânia - dia 471
June 9, 2023 - Kiev desmentiu notícias de que a sua muito aguardada contra-ofensiva tenha começado, com violentos combates em pelo menos três frentes.
Ukrainian forces have made gains of up to 2km on the flanks of Bakhmut and intense fighting is taking place in western Donetsk, but after earlier advances in western Zaporizhya Oblast, Russian defences have regained lost ground and are defending their positions. Ukrainian efforts appear to be particularly focussed on the key logistics hub of Tokmak in that region.
In Kherson Oblast, around 600 square km is under water following the destruction of Kakhovka dam, 68% of it in Russian-occupied territory and over 500,000 hectares of farmland could be lost. The cooling pond at Zaporizhya nuclear plant is reportedly in danger of collapse.
