The British Defense Ministry reported on June 25 that Ukraine's military is making "gradual but steady tactical progress" in Russian-held parts of the country. "Ukraine's forces have re-set and have again been undertaking major offensive operations on three main axes in southern and eastern Ukraine," the ministry said in its daily Twitter update on the conflict. They were using the experience from the first two weeks of the counteroffensive to "refine tactics for assaulting the deep, well prepared Russian defenses," it added.
