KYIV - The leader of Russia’s Wagner private army said on Thursday Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive was already under way and making gains on the outskirts of the eastern city of Bakhmut, while Kyiv said its main effort had not yet started.
Ukrainian forces had already received enough equipment from Western allies for their campaign, but were waiting for the full complement to arrive to reduce casualties, Mr Zelensky said. The war in Ukraine is at a turning point, with Kyiv poised to unleash its new counterstrike after six months of keeping its forces on the defensive, while Russia mounted a huge winter offensive that failed to capture significant territory.
The commander of Ukraine’s ground forces said on Wednesday that Russian forces had retreated in places by as much as 2km at the front line.
