Ukraine's counter-offensive reclaimed 5,000 square miles

Ukraine's recent counter-offensive has successfully reclaimed 5,000 square miles of territory from Russian forces in just one month. This operation, launched from Kharkiv, disrupted Russian supply lines and involved the recapture of over 500 settlements. The offensive began with a diversionary attack in Kherson, drawing Russian troops away from the main assault. Ukrainian forces, numbering over 20,000, quickly advanced into poorly defended areas, achieving significant territorial gains. This operation marked a major shift in the conflict, boosting Ukrainian morale and demonstrating their military capabilities just months after the Russian invasion began in February 2022.
