Ukraine Launches Major Offensive Against Russian Forces.

Ukrainian forces are conducting offensive operations against Russian forces in Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia, according to officials. The Ukrainian military has intensified attacks on the front lines, particularly in southern Ukraine, and launched 23 strikes on locations with Russian troops in the past 24 hours. The push from Ukraine comes as Russian fighting has faltered in recent months due to logistics, supplies, and infighting issues. Meanwhile, Ukraine is responding to the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam and evacuating tens of thousands from flooded neighborhoods. Ukrainian officials are calling for more western nations to boost their military assistance packages to hasten a Ukrainian victory.
