U.S. media: The Russian army launched an attack on Ukraine before the U.S.-Russia talks.
Jin10 data August 12 news, according to the Wall Street Journal, the Russian army has recently made a sudden advance into eastern Ukraine, with Russian leader Putin aiming to gain a battlefield advantage before talks with Trump on Friday. Analysts and soldiers indicate that (Russian) infantry has penetrated several miles near the Ukrainian city of Dobropillya. This is a rare operation in the conflict. The Ukrainian military states that they are counterattacking in the area, claiming that Russian small units have breached Ukraine's first line of defense and bypassed the defensive fortifications that Ukraine has been building for months. The question now is whether Russia can widen the gap and further enter areas that are poorly prepared for defense, thus consolidating its advantage. If the Russian army succeeds, they will be able to exert greater pressure on the eastern city of Donetsk still controlled by Kyiv, while Putin prepares for talks scheduled for this week in Alaska.
