Ukrainian President Zelensky has officially admitted for the first time that a counteroffensive once morest Russian forces is underway.

President Zelensky said at a joint press conference held following meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who visited the capital Kyiu on the 10th local time, “There is a counteroffensive and defensive operation being carried out in Ukraine, but I will not go into detail at what stage it is at.”

Then, following naming the military leaders one by one, he smiled and said, “Everyone is in a positive mood. Please tell Putin that way.”

This is the first time President Zelensky has officially acknowledged the launch of a counteroffensive.

Earlier, Russia claimed that Ukraine launched a massive offensive this week, which failed to break through its defenses and suffered heavy casualties.

Archyde.com and other foreign media quoted the Ukrainian Eastern Army as saying, “Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces have advanced up to 1.4 km from Bakhmut, Donetsk Province, an eastern battlefield.”
