Russia's defences are 'more fragile than first thought', reveal Western officials in a boost for Kyiv as fighting rages across the frontline of eastern Ukraine at the start of Zelensky's 'all or nothing' counter-offensive
Russia's defences could be 'more fragile than thought', Western officials have warned as Ukraine finally begins its much-anticipated 'all or nothing' counter-offensive (main, top-right and bottom-right). The frontline assault comes after weeks of intensive behind-the-scenes preparations, including vital training by UK troops, and some 16 months after Putin's (inset) illegal invasion. Ukrainian forces have advanced in Novodonetsk by up to five or six kilometres, local reports suggest, as officials claim 'fierce battles are going on' for control of the settlement. American and European military officials advising Kyiv have claimed that Kremlin defensive lines may be fragile, an insider told The Economist today.
