US EditionRussia Says Pushing Offensive Into Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Region
- On June 8, Russia announced that its troops had entered the Dnipropetrovsk region in eastern Ukraine, marking their initial advance into this area since the beginning of the full-scale conflict three years ago.
- This advance followed stalled peace talks in Istanbul last week where Russia demanded Ukrainian troop pullbacks, an end to Western arms aid, and Kyiv's abandonment of NATO ambitions.
- Dnipropetrovsk, a key industrial area with around three million residents, has faced persistent Russian strikes but was not among regions Russia claims as annexed territory.
- Recent Russian strikes in eastern Ukraine resulted in the deaths of 14 or more civilians, including two children and emergency workers, while several airports in Moscow suspended flights following Ukrainian drone attacks.
- Military analysts warn deeper Russian advances in the largely flat Dnipropetrovsk region could severely impact Kyiv's military and economy amid continued refusal by Moscow to accept a full ceasefire.
