Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a counteroffensive near Kharkiv.

"Near Kharkiv, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a counteroffensive," the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Facebook on Saturday.

The Ground Forces believe that the counteroffensive became possible due to the invincibility of the Ukrainian people, the lack of trained reserves of the Russians, the demoralization of the occupying forces and, last but not least, the withdrawal of the so-called "LDNR" units to the occupied territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions after the occupation of certain settlements in Luhansk region.
