Ukraine "Offensive Actions", Leopards On Battlefield, “Fake” Putin Address In Russia Border Regions

Ukraine's deputy defence minister has said that Kyiv’s forces are moving to "offensive actions" in some areas. Maliar claims Ukrainian forces “are advancing there on a rather wide front” in Bakhmut and Kyiv is “having some success.” US officials say there are signs that Kyiv may have started its counteroffensive, as fighting rages at several points on the frontline. A Russian official claims German-made Leopard tanks had been spotted in the area where Ukraine launched a limited offensive on June 5. Meanwhile, Melitopol mayor says spy squads from Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) have arrived in the city to search for pro-Ukrainian residents. The Kremlin says several Russian radio stations were hacked and played a “fake” address by President Putin in the regions bordering Ukraine. Belgium is investigating the alleged use of its weapons in Russia by anti-Kremlin militias, and has asked Kyiv for a clarification. #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #putin #usa Video: AP/AFP/Reuters/Twitter n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
