Russian President Vladimir Putin claims the Ukrainian counter-offensive is “not succeeding.” Russia’s air defence forces and fleet in the Black Sea shot down ten Ukrainian drones over the Crimean port of Sevastopol, according to Russian officials. According to Ukrainian and Polish officials, Wagner Group fighters have arrived in Belarus from Russia.

Ukrainian forces have launched several attacks on Russian positions – since Saturday’s mutiny. Some of the Russian forces had to leave their positions because of the attempted rebellion by Wagner group – but are starting to return to the front lines. The Ukrainian army is pushing south and east in what appears to be an attempt to take advantage of the instability in Russia.
