...now control the eastern bank of the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region, while Moscow continues to launch attacks against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine following its military setbacks in the country’s east.
Strategic Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces posted a video on social media on Sunday that appeared to show an armored vehicle crossing the river, along with the message, “Ukraine controls the left bank.”
The claim suggests Ukraine’s push east is continuing after its forces seized about 3,500 square miles of territory in the northeastern Kharkiv region in a lightning offensive earlier this month that put Moscow on the back foot.
Ukrainian troops are now within about 20 miles of the Luhansk region, which Moscow captured months ago and whose seizure the Kremlin has repeatedly called one of its priorities for the war in Ukraine.
....Russian forces, meanwhile, established a new defensive line between the river and the town of Svatove in the Luhansk region over the weekend, according to the British ministry of defense. The ministry said Russia would likely defend the area aggressively after suffering a swift rout in the Kharkiv region, allowing Ukrainian forces to seize huge swaths of land in just a few days.
Battlefield setbacks have continued for Moscow. The British Ministry of Defense said Russia had lost at least four combat jets in Ukraine within the last 10 days, for a total loss of around 55 jets since the start of the invasion.

Fixed it for you.
So, instead of me being wrong, Newsweek is wrong.
You need to address them then yeah?
lmao
What’s ironic, of course, is that Putinists are just fine with Russia shoving every last Ukrainian into ovens. They just can’t admit it here lest the uninformed catch on to their bloodlust and nutbaggery.
You failed reading and then comprehending what you read via Russia’s SMO decree which has long been easily found and obtained online, yes?
I know who really wants to shove people into ovens, Banderite.
“What’s ironic, of course, is that Putinists are just fine with Russia shoving every last Ukrainian into ovens. “
Exactly. The Putinists are too verklempt with adoration of their shirtless Dear Leader to regard any action he takes as nefarious.
As opposed to your sources that state such dribble that you parrot:

LOL!
Putin puppet or Biden/Deep State puppet. What’s the difference?
Yeah, a puppet government, the same government who is headed by a comedian, who won a run off against the incumbent 3 to 1, as protest vote against corruption.
That sounds like an odd definition for a 'puppet government'.
Not you comrade, for starters.
You regard Western/US/EU/UK/NATO propaganda as “truth.” The “truth” little Banderite is that your beloved neo-Nazi supporting and sympathizer ZelenskyyIdiot is getting his ass kicked in Ukraine, so much so, he has to go off to the rest of the Western/US/UK/EU/NATO countries and arms manufacturers and beg for PMCs (like Academi/Blackwater, which is literally getting its ass handed to them) and free toys cause his own toys have been utterly wrecked. Furthermore, even his own General Staff has come just short of calling ZelenskyyIdiot an outright IDIOT.
Fitting huh, Banderite?
Banderite or neo-Nazi supporter and/or sympathizer, what’s the difference?
LMAO!
Russia is now fighting NATO.
No one will know the truth, maybe ever, but certainly not until the fighting is over, the boundaries are set and the treaties signed.
I think Putin will end up with exactly what he wants and that will add trillions of dollars of natural resources and geography to Russian or Putin ownership.
And, the West will pay for the reparations.
And, I doubt he cares one tiny bit over who admires him or who despises him. A little WW2 history will explain this.
It’s too good to last. At some point, Putin will remember he’s got nukes.

How many of you have now come out to jump me, 5?
I am losing count, help me out.
And if he uses the nukes (that’s assuming they still work - which looking at the maintenance of Russian military equipment is iffy at best), he both loses any international wafflers (China, India) and his own lands get irradiated.
No.
Russia is fighting Ukraine - and losing.
NATO hasn’t even entered the fight.
Towarisch, you haven’t yet explained why you hate the west and call us all Banderites.
What is a Banderite according to you?
I mean gee, at least it not like the retraction made by Reuters yesterday........ /s
