8 Jun 2023 Jahr - Ukraine Launches Counteroffensive

Beschreibung:

Through the winter and into spring, Ukraine worked on preparing a counteroffensive against Russia — taking in shipments of increasingly complex weapons systems from Western backers.

Some senior Ukrainian officials, though, said they worried that the counterattack might not live up to the hype.

Ukrainian forces launched a counteroffensive on June 8. Units trained by NATO joined a push to retake territory, and Russian officials acknowledged heavy fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region, where a counterattack had been widely expected.
