Ukraine launched a counter-offensive campaign in the south and east at the beginning of June. The Ukrainian military is liberating occupied areas and gaining a foothold there.

The current modest Ukrainian successes are just an introduction to a broader and more extensive counteroffensive to come soon, according to Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.
