Zelensky "Grateful for Every Downed Russian Helicopter", Ukrainian Forces "Moving Forward in South"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday (June 21) forces in the south were moving forward while troops in the east were holding off Russian attacks. "In the south, we have our movement forward. Thank you, warriors. In the east, we hold the defence," Zelenskiy said during his evening video address. Ukraine has said it has reclaimed eight villages so far in its long-awaited counter-offensive, its first substantial gains on the battlefield for seven months. But after a flurry of early gains, Kyiv has claimed to have captured only one additional village over the past week, the hamlet of Pyatikhatky, and Ukrainian forces so far have yet to push their way to the main defensive lines that Russia has had months to prepare. #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #ukrainecounteroffensive #zelensky #russia #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION UKRAINIAN FORCES MOVING FORWARD IN SOUTH, SAYS ZELENSKY KLITSCHKO SAYS OPPONENTS PLOTTING TO FORCE HIM OUT “RUSSIA WON’T REBUILD UKRAINE IF…” MOSCOW WARNS OF CLASH BETWEEN NUKE POWERS CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
