Ukrainian forces are "shifting to offensive actions" in some areas, the country’s Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar has said.
Military sources told the BBC that a series of small scale armoured offensive operations are under way.
They did not say whether this was the start of Ukraine’s long-awaited full-scale counter-offensive.
Russia says it thwarted major Ukrainian offensive and claims it killed 300 troops and destroyed 16 tanks.
