Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have thwarted a Ukrainian "large-scale offensive" on the "front line southbound from Donetsk."

"The enemy's objective was to break through our defense in what they consider the most vulnerable area of the front line. The enemy did not achieve its objectives and did not succeed," the Russian Defense Ministry statement said Sunday.

The ministry statement added that AFU forces, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored fighting vehicles participated in the attack.

CNN has not been able to independently confirm the details of this attack.

Ukrainian social video shows soldiers calling for silence on counteroffensive plans

By Josh Pennington

Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar posted a video on Telegram in which she apparently urged silence in the face of any possible news of a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

In the video, several soldiers from different Ukrainian units, fully equipped for combat, are seen putting their index fingers to their lips in silence and are heard saying "shhh".

At the end of the video appears a banner that reads: "Plans love silence. The beginning [of the counteroffensive] will not be announced."
