A bitter and bloody war in Ukraine has devastated the country, further isolated Russia from the West and fueled economic insecurity around the world.

Ukraine's counter-offensive is now in its third month but progress remains slow.

Here are the latest developments:

Ukraine has made advances in and around two villages in the south east of the country - one in the Zaporizhzhia region and another in the Donetsk region
Russian drone and missile strikes against Ukraine have continued, primarily targeting grain and port infrastructure.
Ukraine has continued counter-offensive operations, and made advances in and around two villages in the south east of the country.

Analysts at the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) say the advances near Robotyne and Urozhaine are "likely tactically significant because of the structure of Russian defensive lines" and note that Russian forces have dedicated significant effort to hold the settlements.

A Ukrainian colonel has said the Russian defensive line in southern Ukraine comprises a line of minefields that is several kilometres wide, a second line of artillery and personnel and a third line of rear positions.

The ISW says the Ukraine's recent advances north and north east of Robotyne may allow Ukrainian forces to begin operating in the areas behind the densest minefields - although it adds it has no way to assess the width of the minefields.

Kyiv's generals have previously warned that fast results are almost impossible because of Russia's fortified defensive lines and rows of minefields.

The battle for Bakhmut
Ukrainian forces have also continued operations around what is left of the city of Bakhmut - which has endured some of the heaviest fighting of the war and has been under Russian control for several months.

Ukraine's General Staff reported that its forces had entrenched themselves in new positions south of the city this week.
It also said Russian forces had conducted unsuccessful offensive actions near Bohdanivka about 7km (4.3 miles) north west of the city and Bila Hora and 14km (8.7 miles) south west of it.
After repeatedly targeting export hubs on the Black Sea, Russia has now turned its missiles and drones on ports on the Danube, which experts say Ukraine will need to export grain into neighbouring Romania.

The port of Reni - about 200m from the border with Nato member Romania - is among those to have been hit in air strikes, including an attack on Wednesday.

Ukrainian officials released photos showing destroyed storage facilities and piles of scattered grain and sunflowers in the port.

Russia's new tactic for cutting off Ukraine's grain
Three people were also killed in missile attacks in the Volyn region of north-western Ukraine and more than 100 buildings were damaged in the area around the city of Lviv.

Western Ukraine, which borders Nato-member Poland to its west, has typically seen fewer attacks than the country's eastern and southern regions.
Meanwhile, Russian officials said they had shot down a Ukrainian drone in Moscow, with its debris damaging the city's Expo Center.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine, but officials in Kyiv have never formally acknowledged launching attacks on targets in Moscow.

More than a year of fighting
Russia's invasion began with dozens of missile strikes on cities all over Ukraine before dawn on 24 February 2022.

Russian ground troops moved in quickly and within a few weeks were in control of large areas of Ukraine and had advanced to the suburbs of Kyiv.

Russian forces were bombarding Kharkiv, and they had taken territory in the east and south as far as Kherson, and surrounded the port city of Mariupol.

But they hit very strong Ukrainian resistance almost everywhere and faced serious logistical problems with poorly motivated Russian troops suffering shortages of food, water and ammunition.

Ukrainian forces were also quick to deploy Western supplied arms such as the Nlaw anti-tank system, which proved highly effective against the Russian advance.

By October the picture had changed dramatically and having failed to take Kyiv, Russia withdrew completely from the north.

More than a year since the invasion, Ukraine is now hoping its latest counter-offensive can turn the war in its favour.
Russia's ongoing missile attacks
Russia has continued its missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, in particular targeting Ukraine's port and grain infrastructure.

Moscow has been launching near-constant attacks on Ukraine's grain infrastructure since Russia withdrew from a landmark grain deal.

The deal was struck in July 2022 between Russia and Ukraine - brokered by Turkey and the UN - allowing cargo ships to sail along a corridor in the Black Sea 310 nautical miles long and three nautical miles wide.
