Looks like Robotyne may be falling back into Russian hands as the Ukrainian counter attack unravels.


The Ukrainian army said on Monday that Russian forces were trying to retake Robotyne, a village in the south whose liberation at the end of August had given Ukraine hope of a breakthrough in its counteroffensive, a hope that has not come to fruition.

In the south, "the enemy tried to regain its positions near Robotyne, without success", said Andri Kovaliov, spokesperson for the Ukrainian army.

In the east of the country, Moscow's troops are also "continuing" to attack Avdiivka, an industrial town they have been trying to encircle for several weeks, he added.

Since June, the Ukrainian army has been conducting a counteroffensive in the east and south, without succeeding in breaking through the Russian lines. In recent weeks, it has been the Russians who have gone on the attack, leading assaults in several areas.

There have been no significant developments on the front since around a year ago, when the Ukrainian army recaptured the town of Kherson.

The lack of movement is such that the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Valery Zaloujny, recently declared that the war had "reached a stalemate".

Nice one
 
Kherson and Odessa been getting a pounding from Russian missile attacks.

I just hope the civilian casualties are kept to a minimum.
 
Several dozen owners of transport companies have today blocked three major Polish border crossings with Ukraine in protest at what they say is unfair competition from the neighbouring country’s businesses.

Trucks lined up at the border checkpoint in Dorohusk, with almost all cargo traffic blocked by protesters who blamed the liberalisation of EU rules for the slump in their revenues. “We want the rules of fair competition to be restored,” Rafal Mekler, a co-organiser of the protest, told AFP in Dorohusk.

Following Russia‘s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU waived a system of permits for Ukrainian transport companies to enter the bloc. According to Polish companies, the move triggered an influx of Ukrainian competitors into the sector, causing profits to plunge.

“Their costs of servicing a truck, hiring a driver or merely of opening a business or paying social insurance are much lower,” Marek Oklinski, a transport company owner, told AFP in Dorohusk. “They drive the prices down and take the cargo that we used to carry.”

The protesters staged similar blockages at crossings in Hrebenne and Korczowa.
