Ukraine intensifies counteroffensive against Russia with Western support.

Ukrainian forces have launched a counteroffensive against Russian defences in southern Ukraine, with the hope of a success that is vital for the continuation of the war. Russia claims to have repelled several Ukrainian attacks in the Zaporizhzhia region. Observers believe that the Ukrainian counter-offensive has begun, with a series of different coordinated actions. Ukraine is playing for big stakes, knowing that they will not have countless opportunities to push back the Russians and reclaim the occupied territories.
