Live from kyiv (Ukraine), Wednesday July 19, the journalist Ben Barnier indicates that the Ukrainians are now trying everything to relaunch their counter-offensive, “especially on the southern front, because it is one of the priority objectives for kyiv: cut the southern front in two”. “You have to understand the current situation. A huge strip of land over 400 kilometers long is held by the Russians. It goes from the south of Kherson to the east of Mariupol, and therefore to Russia”he says.
“A very strategic axis”
“It is a very strategic axis which cuts in particular a large part of the axis which gives access to the sea”continues Ben Barnier. “In this fight, Kyiv said they made progress towards Melitopol and Berdyansk. This makes the US Chief of Staff say that the Ukrainian counter-offensive ‘is not a failure’, even if it will be ‘long and painful'”adds the journalist. “The other situation that is being watched closely here in Kyiv and across the country is obviously the night strikes of a large number of missiles and drones in Odessa, and also some drone attacks in Kyiv that were neutralized by the anti-terrorism defense. -Aerial”concludes Ben Barnier.
