Ukraine's Counteroffensive: Slow Progress and Frustration
Ukraine's top military commander, Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, criticized critics of Ukraine's counteroffensive, stating that it "pisses me off" to hear complaints about the slow progress. He called for more arms from the West, including artillery ammunition and fourth-generation fighters like F-16s. Zaluzhny expressed concerns about the Wagner Private Military Company and the need to prepare for worst-case scenarios. Russian Telegram channels reported Ukrainian gains along the Dnipro River, with Russia firing an Iskander missile in response. The situation remains fluid, with conflicting reports and unverified claims.
