L'ukrainien Contre-Offensive Continue de Fléchir
By Stefan Brakus
The Ukrainian Counter-Offensive as of the 10th August 2023
Kharkiv Front
Russian forces have been making rapid gains in territory in the direction of the city of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region. Western media outlets have largely ignored these significant Russian advances not because the former deem it unimportant, but rather due to the Western media’s desire to not cause damage to the moral of Ukraine and its Western allies. To damage moral with regards to the Kharkiv Front would be extremely harmful in the face of a situation in which the Russians could very well reverse their territorial losses from last year’s successful Ukrainian counter-offensive against the Russians in Kharkiv. Russia’s advances in this area have been so rapid, the Ukrainians have not been able to set up effective defensive positions in order to stall the Russians.
