Ukraine claims first victories of counter-offensive against Russia - BBC News

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.

It comes after President Zelensky acknowledged on Saturday that the long-awaited counter-offensive was under way.

The problem is holding the villages, but granted defence easier than attack, so good work.

wagner would need to lose 10, 000 people killed in order to capture this one village

Capture the entire city of Bakhmut - irrelevant.
Capture a village of 4 houses - very significant.
Ahh the West 😂

This will toughen up pro-Russian supporters from the trenches on their couches.

These villages were undefended and not even in the first line of Russian defence but in the No man zone

There has been plenty of needless death and pain in Ukraine since the conflict started.
