...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.

And the fall-out falls wherever the wind blows. Nobody wins a nuclear exchange.
Nah, you put in Kremlin nonsense.
The Zelenskyy clown was elected in 2019, when Poroshenko — the guy who came to power in 2014 after the Majdan protests LOST.
Zelensky was assumed pro-Russia compared to Poroshenko.
So your talks of Z being a Western puppet are nothing more than Kremlin propaganda.
Don’t need to explain something you are quite familiar with, yo.
yup, nobody wins. Which is why Pooptin won’t do it
Right on. Thanks for those.
Bakhmut is where my grandfather was born.
Take everything back.
Get your facts straight, Comrade Cranked.
obvious troll is being obvious.
So, Towarisch - you now say anyone who doesn’t want to be under Moscow’s thumb is a Banderite/neo-nutzi?
LMAO!! Good God, you’re so programmed. There’s no hope for you. You have my permission to prattle on, Comrade. Do keep it up; you’re more entertaining than you’ll ever know... a word of caution, little socialist minion... do try to keep it light and get a grip on your emotions.
Don’t care the reasoning, the damage was already done, as intended yes?
And yet, they then felt the need to retract it.
Yeah, okie dokie.
LMAO.
what is your definition of a banderite, товарищ?
Still haven’t got the definition yet?
You can’t be that naive.
LMAO!! Good God, you’re so programmed. There’s no hope for you. You have my permission to prattle on, Banderite. Do keep it up; you’re more entertaining than you’ll ever know... a word of caution, little Banderite minion... do try to keep it light and get a grip on your emotions.
Back to the regularly scheduled program of collecting firewood for ‘Save Germany from Itself’ Fund that is trying to help needy Germans in Germany.....
Oh, indeed that one can.
Or maybe he looks at it as “if I can’t win, nobody will.” He’s not nuts, but he does have a personality disorder more than a little of which is megalomania, and he might not be able to deal with being deposed, which is likely, and also very hazardous to his health, should Russia be outright defeated.
Air bursts do not produce a lot of fall out.
Air fuel bombs have make tactical nukes all but obsolete.
Why am I explaining to you something that you are quite familiar with? Like wtf?! LMAO.
As far as Putin is concerned, that may be an argument against air burst fuel bombs. He might want to maximize the harm he does to Ukraine and Europe. Don’t expect him to play cricket.
Should NATO threaten Crimea, Russia will go nuclear. I say NATO because Ukraine is in fact NATO at point in the war.
good point, I had not considered that.
