'Forward and towards victory:' Zelenskyy hails Ukrainian forces on surprise visit to newly liberated city
On Saturday, Ukrainian forces recaptured thousands of square miles of territory in the Kharkiv region after a lightning counter-attack against the Russian occupiers. This handed Kyiv some of the most strategically important towns and cities in the northeast of the country.This has handed Russia one of the biggest setbacks since the start of the war back in February.
President Zelenskyy said that the Ukrainian forces have now liberated 8,000 square km of territory so far this month. This is comparable to the land mass of Cyprus.Whilst the recent events have given more hope to Ukraine, Russia still controls around a fifth of the country. When asked about the progress, US President Joe Biden said the Ukrainian forces had made significant gains but still remained cautious as it would still be "a long haul".
Ukraine officials now say they will continue targeting towns in the eastern Donbas region, currently under Russian control. Despite the set back, and having failed to take Ukraine, Moscow insisted that they would continue with the war "until all the goals that were originally set are achieved".
