Despite the “annexation” of the territories by Russia, the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the south is continuing – and quite successfully for Ukraine. According to its own statements, the Ukrainian army has liberated other towns from Russian troops in counterattacks around the Kherson Oblast. The head of the presidential office, Andriy Yermak, wrote to the Telegram news service on Tuesday about five places that had been recaptured.
An animated map by the Russian media service Rybar, shared on Twitter by war observer and military expert Kyle Glen, also shows how quickly Ukraine is now advancing.
There you can see how large areas of Ukraine are liberated within just four hours.
Videos from the long-fought village of Davydiv Brid and the villages of Velyka Oleksandrivka and Starossillya on the Inhulets River circulated on social networks. In addition, Ukrainian units are said to have moved into Dudchany on the Dnipro River. Official confirmations were initially not available.
