Ukrainian forces appear to be launching counter-offensives against the invading Russian military, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Tuesday, according to CNN.

The U.S., Kirby said, has "seen indications that the Ukrainians are going a bit more on the offense now."

"They have been defending very smartly, very nimbly, very creatively, in places that they believe are the right places to defend, and we have seen them now, in places particularly in the south near Kherson, they have tried to regain territory," he added.

Ukraine's counter-attacks have not been confined to the area around Russian-controlled Kherson. On Tuesday, Ukrainian forces retook the Kyiv suburb of Makariv, though Russian forces made some gains in other areas near the capital city, The Hill reported.

If I am a poor Russian conscript - 4 weeks into this exercise - I am wondering WTF and probably thinking that surrender in Ukraine is a much better option than fighting a War of Why for Putin.
