Ukraine is pushing back the Russians. What is known about the counterattack?

Ukraine today (12) announced the defeat of Russian troops the previous day, showing a possible evolution in reclaiming lands in the northeast of the country. After all, how big is the Ukrainian counteroffensive?

With the offensive this weekend, the country made advances in more than 20 cities and villages under Russian command, retaking hundreds of square kilometers. The reboot happened within 24 hours.

These successes are the result of the collapse of Russian forces in eastern Ukraine. The city of Moscow recognized the retreat of the city of Izium, the main Russian stronghold in the country. In the counterattack, before the withdrawal of the troops, missile fire at the power plants broke out, causing power outages in Kharkov and the surrounding provinces.

“We are taking full control and stabilization measures are being implemented,” said the Ukrainian General Staff.

Also, according to the information provided by the Ukrainians, the Russian army would have abandoned a large stockpile of ammunition and military equipment.

The city of Kyiv described the attacks as retaliation for Russian military advances in recent months.

As of this morning, electricity in Kharkiv has been restored to 80% of its capacity, in contrast to the interrupted water supply.

Moscow, which deliberately denies attacks on civilian targets, declined to comment.

The advance of Ukrainian forces, the most effective since the Russian withdrawal from the city of Kyiv, represents a turning point for the country in the conflict.

In just a few days, Ukraine was able to retake some of the territories that took months for the city of Moscow to occupy effectively.

According to Ukrainian general Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the buybacks took place in an area of ​​about 3,000 square kilometers this month alone, reaching a radius of close to 50 kilometers from the Russian border.

Especially if there are more Russian withdrawals east of Oskil, Ukrainian troops could be strengthened for an offensive against territory occupied by Russia and Ukraine-based allies since 2014.

Russia responded to Ukraine’s advances with a short message that “its special military operation will achieve its objectives” in the neighboring country.
