UKRAINE REPORTS ‘RAPID ADVANCES’ IN BID TO RETAKE KEY REGIONS

Ukraine has disclosed its forces have advanced in three regions: Kherson, Kharkiv and Donetsk
President Volodymyr Zelensky says his troops are making rapid progress, especially in Kherson
Russia’s entire presence on the west side of the Dnipro river now looks vulnerable

Only last week Russian President Vladimir Putin said annexed regions would be Russian forever
Putin has signed a bill cementing the annexation of four regions in a move that Ukraine and the West have denounced as illegal

Earlier UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly told us the government would “stay the course”, and doubled down on the UK’s commitment to provide support to Ukraine.

Now Prime Minister Liz Truss has echoed that statement, saying “we will stand with our Ukrainian friends, no matter how long it takes”.
