Ukrainian forces have suffered heavy losses during their counteroffensive against Russian forces, according to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The counteroffensive, which began in June, has resulted in a deep echelon active defense being formed in the special operation zone. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also noted that Ukraine's counteroffensive has failed. Despite ongoing offensive operations by Russian forces aimed at encircling Avdiivka, they have yet to make further gains. The Institute for the Study of War has observed a likely decreasing tempo of Russian operations in the area.
