Ben Wallace, the UK Defence Secretary, stated that the Ukrainian Defence Forces have liberated more territory as part of their summer counteroffensive than Russian occupying army captured during the winter offensive.
According to the British Minister, “Ukraine has already recaptured approximately 300 square km” of its territories that were under Russian occupation.
“That’s more territory than Russia seized in its whole winter offensive,” he said, addressing the British Parliament.
Wallace highlighted that the Ukrainian forces continue to make gradual but steady progress, conducting offensive operations on three key fronts in the east and south.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that the administration of US President Joseph Biden unofficially says that the Ukrainian counteroffensive started slowly and its results in the first few weeks “sobering”, but they are not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

But the Russians are taking that stuff very seriously, meaning that they’re not interested in safeguarding anything, but are well aware that this is an issue that Western societies take very seriously.

It is truly heart-warming what we’ve witnessed over the course of the past few months. War criminal, warmonger, and Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin has found himself abandoned by another of his very few friends. The sphere of Russian influence is shrinking and Kazakhstan – one of Russia’s key satellite states until recently – is a great example of its gradual demise. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is consistently drifting away from Moscow and seeking allies in both Europe and Asia. Joining us in this episode of Eastern Express to shed more light on the issue was Bruce Pannier, a journalist and Central Asia Expert
