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.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
