Ukrainian armed forces said on Monday they had recaptured more than 20 settlements in the past 24 hours amid a large counter-offensive.
“In the past 24 hours, Ukrainian armed forces drove the enemy away from more than 20 settlements” and are regaining “full control over them,” the Ukrainian army said in its daily briefing.
“In their retreat, Russian troops are hastily abandoning their positions and fleeing,” the army statement added.
Throughout the weekend, Ukraine claimed sweeping successes against Russia in the south and the east, including the cities of Izyum, Kupiansk, and Balakliya.
On Sunday night, regions in eastern Ukraine saw widespread electricity blackouts after strikes described by foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko as an “act of desperation following Russia’s immense losses and retreat in eastern Ukraine.”
There was “a total blackout in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, a partial one in the Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his daily address on Sunday.
Power was quickly restored in most places.
In the Kharkiv region 80 percent of the water and electricity supply had been restored on Monday morning, according to the deputy head of the president’s office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko.
#Ukraine: Perhaps you through that Ukrainian Army captures from #Izium City were over. Wrong!
First: Seven MT-LB armoured vehicles, two T-72B-series tanks, a destroyed BTR-82A. (Note two tanks seen at end are already known)
Yep that Zelensky is one helluva guy!
I bet he could beat Putin AND play the piano with his penis, AND in high heels all at the same time!
Slava Ukraini!
Latest joke: Russia may be banned from the Olympics, but their soldiers are displaying excellent results in the Ukraine Triathlon by swimming, riding, and running!
I love it! LOL!
Need to show the dancing zelensky after every Ukrainian victory!
Its like the “scarlet letter” if you are familiar with the book
And you have to consider that - maybe what you say is true? What does that say about Russian leadership? What does that say about Russian society, it’s institutions and culture, that can be beat by an underdeveloped agricultural country led by your caricature of Zelensky?
It rubs in the worthlessness of Russia, that is being beat by THAT guy.
I think so.
LoL!
“What does that say about Russian society, it’s institutions and culture, that can be beat by an underdeveloped agricultural country led by your caricature of Zelensky?”
I hope your not thinking I am beating up on Z? I am mocking the Russian side for being beaten by a guy they caricaturize. Yes it does show hoe w pathetic their side is if Z is what they claim.
Yeah in the scarlet letter an adulteress is forced to wear a letter “A” on her blouse. She emboriders it and makes it the most beautifiul “A” ever in an act of defiance
If the Ukrainians can get the utilities back up that quickly, they should ask Hunter for a contract in KKKalifornia.
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.
NP!
