Ukrainian officials have publicly claimed their first major gains in their counter-offensive, announcing the liberation of several villages that were captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces over a weekend that saw fierce fighting break out all along the frontlines. Despite the losses, Ukraine is still making progress. Video footage taken before June 12th showed soldiers had taken the villages of Blahodatne and Velyka Novosilka, key settlements along one of the country’s main routes of attack. Do you think Russians are retreating tactically before they can attack ?
