203 days of the war in Ukraine. For the first time since the beginning of the invasion, the Kremlin admitted its defeat on the battlefield. The Kyiv authorities report that since September 6th, Ukrainian forces in the Kharkiv region have liberated more than 300 towns, inhabited by about 150,000 people.
The numerous successes of the Ukrainian counter-offensive bring the prospect of an end to the war closer. However, Kyiv believes that even after the conflict has ended successfully, Ukraine will still be an easy target for potential aggressors.
