In recent days, Ukraine has broken through Russia's first line of defence in a spectacular fightback in a key occupied area. Forces launched a huge offensive in the southern Kherson region, seized early in the invasion. Footage later emerged of a Russian tank shelled in Kharkiv in the north. The push is part of a long-awaited fightback being launched by chiefs in Kyiv in an attempt to retake the south of the country. It follows weeks of Ukrainian attacks aimed at cutting off Russian forces there from main supply routes.
