claims and suggested that the long-anticipated
counter attack was still yet to come.

offensive" in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.

through Russia’s defenses in what it
considered to be the most vulnerable
area of the front. The enemy was
unsuccessful in achieving its goals, Serhiy Cherevatyi, Spokesman for Ukraine's eastern group of forces, via NBC.
In response, Serhiy Cherevatyi,
a spokesman for Ukraine's eastern group of forces,
called the Russian claims "an absolute lie.".
There will be an attack
and they will be crushed.
And our command knows
when and where it will take place, Serhiy Cherevatyi, Spokesman for Ukraine's eastern group of forces, via NBC.
NBC reports that both the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia
regions are likely targets for the expected Ukrainian
counteroffensive to reclaim territories annexed by Russia.
