Ukrainian generals claim they have breached Russia’s formidable first line of defences in the south, as the counter-offensive launched earlier this summer may be poised to gather pace.
Since June, Kyiv’s territorial gains have been very small – but is Ukraine finally at a turning point?
“Yes, it’s true,” says Yuriy Sak, an advisor to Ukraine’s defence minister, when asked if the breach had happened.
“Little by little, I think we’re gaining momentum,” he said.
