Even today, we bring a summary of the situation on the battlefield compiled from information from various ministries of defense and independent analysts.

An overview of confirmed losses is at the end of the article. The rapid Ukrainian counter-offensive, which liberated a territory about a fifth of Slovakia, has ended, but that does not mean that the Ukrainians are not advancing in some places. On Monday, they announced that they had liberated the village of Bilohorivka. This village has a great symbolic meaning. It is already located in the Luhansk region.

Occupying the Donbas, i.e. the entire Luhansk and Donetsk regions, was a modified goal of the Russian offensive, which they came up with in the spring after the failure of the attack on Kyiv.

Bilohorivka is a small village, before the war it had less than a thousand inhabitants, but it is the last village before Lysyčansk, from the edge of which it is located only twelve kilometers. This city was lost to the Ukrainians at the beginning of the summer, but now there are unconfirmed reports that they are already attacking it. Bilohorivka in the Luhansk region is fully liberated by the Ukrainian army. 💙💛 pic.twitter.com/qp4jnYPswj — Andrej Poleščuk (@andrewofpolesia) September 19, 2022 Lysyčansk, Lyman or Kreminna will probably be fought on the eastern front the closest. This is probably related to the fact that several members of the LNR and DNR in Russia are calling for an immediate referendum on joining these republics to Russia. According to the latest information, the referendums here and in Kherson and Zaporizhia are to be held on September 23-27. What advantage do Ukrainians have?
