Ukrainian forces maintain control of Prymorske in Zaporizhzhia oblast following successful counteroffensives that reclaimed most of the settlement by early 2026, according to ISW assessments. Russian units have conducted repeated artillery barrages, FPV drone strikes, and limited infantry infiltrations along the dried Kakhovka Reservoir bed, targeting nearby areas such as Stepnohirsk and Plavni, but these efforts have not produced sustained territorial gains or encirclement. Ukrainian defenses, including drone interdiction of supply routes and counterattacks, continue to constrain Russian movements. Broader fighting in the Orikhiv direction remains positional, with traders viewing full Russian capture as dependent on major reinforcements or seasonal weather advantages that have not yet materialized.
