Ukrainian progression in the South and north-east has shocked Russia and instilled hope back to the people of Ukraine

From Kherson in the south of Ukraine to Kharkiv in the northeast, Ukrainian forces have recaptured large amounts of territory, liberating key towns.

After six months of gruelling war, Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky has sent a warning to Russia.

“The Russian army is showing its best — showing its back. And it’s a good choice for them to run away. There’s no place for the occupiers in Ukraine.”
Volodymyr ZelenskY, Ukrainian President

Zelensky says Ukrainian forces have reclaimed about 2,000 square kms of territory, since the beginning of September.

Russia state media has also conceded that it’s a concern for Russia’s strategy and momentum in the coming days and months.

Russia’s top occupation official says “Ukrainian forces outnumbered Russians by eight to one in in the Kharkiv region.”

Despite early accomplishments, Russia is experiencing exhaustion and fatigue from consistent Ukrainian attacks.

U.K. defence officials say the Ukrainian army’s advances will no doubt have “significant implications” for Russia’s overall strategy and Putin’s reaction.

The war is far from over, but it’s a victory for Ukraine as the country heads into colder months.
