Ukraine war: Kyiv claims more villages retaken but picture mixed - BBC News
www.bbc.com
Kyiv claims to have snatched back a number of settlements in recent days - though they are all small in size.
  • Ukraine says it has liberated four villages in the south-east, calling these the first settlements won back from Russia since Kyiv’s counter-offensive began
  • On Monday morning, officials reported that “the national flag is once again waving” over Storozhove, in the Donetsk region
  • A day earlier, footage showed Ukrainian troops celebrating in Blahodatne and Neskuchne - and a minister said nearby Makarivka was also taken
  • The settlements are relatively small - and Moscow is yet to confirm any retreat
  • The Institute for the Study of War backs up Kyiv’s claims, saying Ukraine captured “multiple settlements” along the frontline over the weekend
  • On Saturday, President Zelensky acknowledged that the long-awaited counter-offensive was under way

      I have to genuinely ask - who is the liberal in this context? People are leaving reddit because it’s encouraging them to do it, simple as that.

        Apologies for the confusion, this comment is only for the radlibs arguing under your post. There’s plenty of them using really disgusting slurs.
