According to the Russian defense ministry, Ukrainian ground forces had launched a "large-scale offensive" in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.

The enemy’s goal was to break through Russia’s defenses in what it considered to be the most vulnerable area of the front.

The enemy was unsuccessful in achieving its goals, Serhiy Cherevatyi, Spokesman for Ukraine's eastern group of forces, via NBC.

In response, Serhiy Cherevatyi, a spokesman for Ukraine's eastern group of forces, called the Russian claims "an absolute lie.".

There will be an attack and they will be crushed.

And our command knows when and where it will take place, Serhiy Cherevatyi, Spokesman for Ukraine's eastern group of forces, via NBC.

NBC reports that both the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions are likely targets for the expected Ukrainian counteroffensive to reclaim territories annexed by Russia.
