Vladimir Putin is furious after Ukraine's military staged a dramatic fightback and seized back control over most of a town that Russia thought they had captured in Kharkiv.

Russia launched a surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv earlier this month and many military sources within the Russian army had boasted that they had captured the pivotal town of Vovchansk. However, Ukraine's Defence Forces have now confirmed that Kyiv has regained control of 70 percent of the town, amid fierce ongoing street battles.

Ukraine's Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshyn said that Ukrainian counterattacks, along with effective artillery and drone strikes, were thwarting Russia's efforts and putting them on the back foot. He described Russian tactics as defensive while Ukrainian forces were increasingly seizing the initiative.

The shock fightback has stunned Vladimir Putin's forces and left the Kremlin leader furious. In response, the Russian president has called on his military to send thousands of more soldiers into the area.

This has to be phony reports sponsored by Zelensky. We need to wait for the actual and truthful reports from Tass and CNN.

Russia is winning every battle and will conclude the fight in Ukraine within a few months. Long live Russia. Long live Putin!

Oops! My bad.

I'll have to depend more on the CNN viewers like you for the truthful results. But, who are the people who are supposedly resisting the nice Russian soldiers? Or, is that also false? Ask CNN and let me know.

"Putin" ran out of Africans for his failed Kharkiv offensive. So it's back to mass roundups in Dagestan for cannon fodder. LOL!

[dfwgator]

He doesn’t dare do that in Moscow and St. Petersburg, lest he go the way of Czar Nicky.

[Kazan]

Kharkiv, you idiot, was ruse to force Ukraine to defend it and divert resources away from the frontlines, where Russia is gaining multiple villages daily.

You are consistent, Marcus -- consistently stupid.
