Ukraine Seeks to Exploit Shift in Russia's Military Strategy
KYIV, Ukraine—Ukrainian forces said they have driven Russian troops out of a town in the northeast of the country, as Kyiv seeks to exploit a decision by Moscow to focus its efforts on controlling a swath of territory in the south and east.
Meanwhile, a day after President Biden pledged support for Kyiv in its fight against Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky chastised the West for what he says is a failure to supply his army with the heavier weapons it needs to fight the better-armed Russian military.
Ukraine said Sunday that its forces have retaken Trostyanets, about 14 miles from the Russian border, potentially opening a road to the provincial capital of Sumy, which has been encircled by the Russians since the early days of the invasion.
The successful counteroffensive shows how Ukrainian forces are seeking to take advantage of a shift in Russia’s military posture.
