Also on June 26, Ukrainian troops de-occupied Rivnopil, located on the administrative border between Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.

Earlier, it was reported that Russian troops blew up the Kakhovska HPP to stop the Ukrainian counterattack in the south, but they miscalculated: this attack did not create such intractable problems for the Ukrainian military as the Russians had hoped. The bombing of the dam forced the command to make adjustments to the combat operations, but did not stop the offensive.
