The war is ramping up once again, as Ukraine\u2019s military confirms that a counteroffensive against Russia has begun. The intensified fighting comes in the aftermath of the destruction of the\u00a0Kakhovka<\/a>\u00a0dam.<\/p>\n

According to a report by\u00a0The Washington Post,\u00a0<\/em><\/a>\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s forces have finally launched their long-awaited counteroffensive, based on speaking with four Ukrainian soldiers and officers. The servicemembers said this \u201ccrucial phase\u201d in the war has now begun with fresh, intensified attacks in the southeast, coming also as severe flooding from the\u00a0Kakhovka dam explosion continues to unfold.<\/p>\n

David Ignatius is\u00a0calling it<\/a>\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s \u201cD-Day\u201d but it\u2019s too early to tell if any actual gains have been made and sustained, amid the usual conflicting battlefield claims. Russia\u2019s military has said it is crushing the Ukrainian campaign.<\/p>\n

Prominent Russian\u00a0commentators and \u201cwar observers\u201d<\/a>\u00a0have also said in the past days all evidence points to the beginning of a counteroffensive:<\/p>\n

\n

Igor Strelkov, a senior army veteran and former officer of Russia\u2019s security service, said Thursday that it was clear Ukraine\u2019s counteroffensive had begun. Strelkov played a key role in Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea in 2014, and later the war in Donbas.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps, we can now reliably say that the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine\u00a0began 5-6 days ago<\/strong>,\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0<\/a>Strelkov on Telegram, providing analysis of troop movements at different hot spots along the front line.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment \u2014 after a day of continuous fighting, it is indirectly known about minor penetrations, but\u00a0there are no breakthroughs<\/strong>,\u201d he added, speaking of Ukraine\u2019s forces. \u2013The Washington Post<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) declared that Ukraine had made an initial to kick-start its counteroffensive, but that it had failed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the morning of June 4, the enemy launched a large-scale offensive in five sectors of the front in the South Donetsk direction,\u201d the MoD\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0said.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThe enemy has failed to reach its goals and was unsuccessful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The very next day saw the explosion and\u00a0destruction of the\u00a0Nova Kakhovka dam.<\/a><\/p>\n
