The U.S. think tank reported on July 25 that fortification efforts include partially restoring a concrete plant and rebuilding an airfield in Melitopol, patching the Antonivsky Bridge and building a pontoon bridge over the Inhulets River in Kherson Oblast. The experts also reported that Russian forces made marginal gains south of Bakhmut but are unlikely to take full control of the city.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
