00:00 Ukraine forces made tactically significant gains in western Zaporozhye region while continuing
00:09 counter offensive operations in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia region administrative border and in eastern
00:14 Ukraine.
00:15 Geolocated footage published on the 20th and the 21st of August indicates that Ukrainian
00:21 forces reached central part of Robotny right here.
00:28 They descended about 10 km south from Urihiv and broke through some Russian defenses south
00:34 of Malatokhmachka this direction.
00:38 Ukrainian army reports entering Russian occupied village of Robotny, Russian sources state
00:43 that the fighting here is ongoing.
00:46 The Institute for the Study of War previously assessed that Ukrainian attacks on Robotny
00:51 are tactically significant because the Ukrainian advance in the area may allow Ukrainian forces
00:56 to begin operating past the densest Russian minefields.
01:01 Ukrainian advances across fields in this area likely confirm this assessment.
01:05 Persistent Ukrainian advances in the Robotny area also likely aim to degrade Russian forces
01:11 that have committed significant effort, resources and personnel to hold positions around Robotny.
01:18 The UK defence ministry says the Russian military is highly likely forming a new 18th combined
01:24 arms army from the other units currently operating in Kherson region.
01:29 It is likely to consist mostly of mobilized personnel and to focus on defensive security
01:34 operations in the south of Ukraine.
01:36 Russia likely aims to free up more experienced units to fight on the Kyiv axis.
01:41 There is a realistic possibility that this has led to the recent redeployment of airborne
01:46 forces from Kherson to the heavily contested Urihiv area.
