Keep in mind four things:
1. These reports are from yesterday. They are all from Russian sources. Ukraine maintains operational silence.

4. In 1944 the allies landed in Normandy on June 6. They did not break out from Normandy until July 25. Ukraine is attempting the most difficult military operation on the mainland of Europe since WW II.
Prayers for Ukraine.
