Ukraine breaks through front line in east, nearing key town
Ukrainian officials on Saturday claimed major gains in a counteroffensive against Russian forces in the country's northeast, saying Ukrainian troops had cut off vital supplies to front-line hotspot.
Later Saturday, videos on social media began to circulate also appearing to show Ukrainian forces on the rural outskirts of Izyum at a roadside checkpoint. A large statue bearing the city's name could be seen in the footage. Ukrainian forces did not acknowledge holding the city. The same report said Ukrainian forces "may collapse Russian positions around Izyum if they sever Russian ground lines of communication" north and south of the town.
"It will be like an avalanche," he said, predicting a Russian fallback. "One line of defense will shake and it will fall." "We are gradually taking control over more settlements, returning the Ukrainian flag and protection for our people," Zelenskyy said.
