Oleksiy Arestovych, a senior adviser to President Zelensky, claimed that Ukraine’s army had broken though Russian defences in several sectors of the frontline near the city of Kherson. However, he cautioned against expecting a quick victory and urged people to be patient.
Mr Arestovych said the counterattack was a “planned slow operation to grind the enemy”.
Despite a news blackout on the offensive by Ukraine’s military high command, reports continue to circulate of intense battles raging across the southern front.
And now it appears the pressure of the situation has got to Russia’s commanders, who mistakenly targeted their own troops during an intense firefight with their opponents.
A Ukrainian fighter called Victor claimed a Russian officer gave an artillery unit the wrong coordinates for a strike.
He wrote: “In the Kherson Region, one of the Rashist commanders gave the wrong coordinates to the artillery.
“Instead of the positions of the Armed Forces, they destroyed their special unit.”
Chechnya’s strongman Ramzan Kadyrov has sent a contingent of his fighters to Ukraine to help with the Russian war effort.
Known as the “Kadyrovtsy”, part of their role is to ensure that regular Russian troops do not desert.
This has led to a build of resentment towards the Chechens among ordinary Russian soldiers.
In April, a regiment of Buryat soldiers turned their guns on their Chechen overseers after a dispute over the spoils of war.
And now history appears to have repeated itself, after further reports of clashes between Buryats and Chechens emerged.
WarMonitor, an OSINT investigator who regularly comments on the invasion, posted: “The Russian army fights among itself.
“Buryats and ‘Kadyrovtsy’ staged a firefight among themselves for control over the city in Vasylivka, the Zaporizhzhia region.
“Both sides are reported to have taken significant losses.”
He added: “These two groups have been recorded to fight throughout the war.
