Speaker 8: It only shows that the Kremlin is preparing for a long war and Ukrainians clearly will keep resisting, refueling and fighting 24/7 for their homeland.
Speaker 1: Russian forces have been accused of executing Ukrainians who resisted occupation. And some residents have told Matthew that people they know have been forcibly sent to Russia. Accusations, the Kremlin denies. Speaker 5: And I think many people started asking questions why Ukraine is being so public about its plans to launch a counter offensive in the south of the country. So Russia, of course, had the information that we've all had, the publicly released information from Kyiv, about a planned counter offensive.
Speaker 10: I can't discuss details of any military actions. I think that information silence is important. So I want that the enemy gets some surprises from us. Speaker 5: Ukrainian forces in the northeast of the country launched a major counter offensive against Russian troops, occupying a large part of the country. Pushing Russian forces entirely or almost entirely out of the Kharkiv region, leaving only a sliver of land in the east and most part of Kharkiv region and retaking some towns and villages as part of this broader push to get Russia out of these regions.
