Since the beginning of June, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have undertaken a counteroffensive in the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, progressively liberating occupied territories and securing positions on recaptured frontiers.
Ukraine’s successes are a “preview” of a much larger offensive yet to come, said Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.
A new phase of Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the south began in late July, reported multiple Western media outlets.
