Ukraine’s counter attack has begun, US officials and Ukrainian military sources have said, following a sweep of attacks along the front line.
Kyiv’s ground forces launched ‘wave after wave’ of assaults on Russian lines in the south of the country, Russian sources claimed on Wednesday night.
The reports were followed by officials briefing US media that the long-awaited counter attack was now underway. The start of the campaign was confirmed by a number of senior Ukrainian officers near the front lines.
