Ukraine counter-offensive has begun, says President Zelensky - BBC News

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky appears to have confirmed that his country's long-awaited counter-offensive against Russia has started.

But he refused to say which stage or state the counter-offensive was in.

The comments come after an escalation of fighting in the south and east of Ukraine and speculation about progress of the widely anticipated push.

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. Good luck Ukraine

I would think that when launching an offensive, you don't tell the enemy when your going to start it. ??

Hey BBC, remember your documentary about a decade ago about neo Nazis in Ukraine? Yeah, they are regarded as heroes today.
As for Poland supporting a country that still celebrates Stepan Bandera's birthday 😂
The Polish surely have a tiny memory of real history 😂

The deaths of all these animals, the innocent creatures of our world, is beyond heartbreaking. You have to be a soulless monster to have perpetrated such a tragedy.

it's incredible how much Zelensky has aged since 2021. the stress and pressure this man withstands is utterly insane.
This is despite the fact that Germany, as the initiator of two great world wars and creating chaos in the world, has always been powerless against Russia, and the drones that Russia uses are made by the Islamic Republic

[gdewyg]

Ukraine should do anything to defend itself. This is self-defense against these war criminals

Thanks to the Western Taxpayers, Zelensky is becoming the Richest Person on earth, Congratulations 🎉

The topic of negotiations can not be abandoned.

[craigsteyn]

Hey BBC any updates on the pipelines? Any updates on the Epstein client list? Please confirm.

[dulynoted]

Zelensky- Turn on the offensive!
Russia- Turn on the meat grinder!

[trevorsutherland]

....and by they way, can I get 100 more tanks on credit?

[Eeva-LiisaKärkkäinen]

There is a saying. Never trust a J....

It's started???
It started days ago, we've all seen the videos of all the burning Leopard tanks & US Bradley's getting blown to bits. 😂

If you are talking about the fact that the Ukrainian authorities are helping people, then why insert people into the news in a form that says "EMERCOM of Russia". Or are the Russians helping them, is that what you meant to say?
