From the Ukrainian Pravda, July 20, 2023 (machine translation):
The Ukrainian military in the south is advancing hundreds of meters every day - the National Guard
Every day, the Ukrainian military makes a gradual movement several hundred meters to the south and southeast.

Direct speech: "In extremely difficult conditions of mined terrain and enemy fire... our assault groups, supported by tanks and artillery, continue their gradual movement to the south and southeast, displacing the invaders from Ukrainian land. Our soldiers and officers are literally gnawing through the enemy's defenses.
Every day we advance several hundred meters."
