Kharkiv triumph raises Ukrainian spirits – and victory hopes

Al Jazeera  

Ukraine has reclaimed 8,000 square kilometres of territory this month inflicting serious blow to Russian military ambitions. The situation is dynamic.” Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the northern Kharkiv region began on September 6, even as another counteroffensive in the south begun a week earlier continued to unfold. Lieutenant General Oleksiy Gromov said Ukraine’s counteroffensive had advanced to a depth of 50km behind enemy lines, reclaimed 700sq km and secured 20 settlements. Ukraine’s general staff said Russian forces were stealing civilian vehicles to escape. “The continued Russian offensive operations against Bakhmut and around Donetsk City have thus lost any real operational significance for Moscow.” The Kharkiv offensive may have triggered desertions behind the front lines.
