Monday September 18, kyiv announced that it had conquered new territories in the region of Bakhmut (Ukraine). “While the president Zelensky is at New Yorkhere there difficult continued counter-offensive”reports Maryse Burgot duplex from Zaporizhia (Ukraine)Tuesday September 19.

But the commander also explains that “the thousands and thousands of mines left by the Russians prevent a more rapid advance”adds Maryse Burgot. The assault troops must therefore wait for the mine clearers to clear a narrow corridor before they can advance. “The Ukrainian president saw New York soldiers injured on the front and who are treated in the United States”she continues. Some were injured by these mines.
