Ukraine is ramping up its counteroffensive regaining territories from Russian troops

Ukrainian forces are ramping up the pace and the scale of Kyiv’s counteroffensive, after they have managed to wipe out weeks of Russia’s gains and liberated multiple small settlements in southeastern Ukraine in the region of Zaporizhzhia over the past week, reports show.

According to the US-based Institute for the Study of War think tank (ISW), the main Ukrainian advance has been recorded roughly 80 kilometer's east of Zaporizhzhia city, where Russian forces had been making gains since the summer of 2025.

Ukrainian forces have also regained control of territory in north-eastern and eastern Ukraine, on the Kharkiv, Kostiantynivka, Pokrovsk and Novopavlivka fronts.

Kyiv troops started slowing down Russian troops about a week ago and in many areas largely stopped their advance.

And the loan will be repaid with seized Russian assets.

Trump and Pooty can suck it.
