Just a day after celebrating the retaking of three villages in Donetsk province, the Ukrainian military announced another victory. And say they have captured Storozhov in the same eastern region. This success has provided momentum to the initial phase of Ukraine’s highly anticipated counter-offensive.
Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar expressed her optimism, stating, “The national flag is flying over Storozhov again, and it will be the same with every settlement until we liberate all Ukrainian land.” Such achievements on the battlefield are vital for maintaining public support among NATO allies, ensuring the continuous flow of crucial military aid, as emphasized by Stoltenberg.

The Pentagon has contributed hundreds of armored personnel carriers, mine-resistant armored trucks, and Humvees to support Ukraine’s offensive.
Germany has supplied modern Leopard tanks, while Great Britain has commenced the provision of long-range aircraft-launched missiles for striking deep into Russian-held territory.
