The Ukrainian armed forces are demonstrating the successes of the counter-offensive on a daily basis

The Ukrainian army has liberated Kleshcheyevka, another village in the Donetsk direction. This is a very telling case: the de-occupation of Kleshcheyevka took place almost immediately after the liberation of the neighboring settlement, Andriyevka.

The Ukrainian armed forces are demonstrating the successes of the counter-offensive on a daily basis

The AFU is successfully conducting combat operations, inexorably destroying the Russian defense. The capture of Kleshcheyevka makes it possible to destroy the logistics of the Russians entrenched in Bakhmut, and then - to take them in a huge "cauldron". Western support for Ukraine and the provision of modern weapons to the AFU have brought results: it is becoming increasingly difficult for the weakened Russian army to hold its defenses in the Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions

The Ukrainian armed forces have gained a confident tactical advantage over the Russian army. This was most clearly demonstrated during the battles for Rabotino, as well as for Kleshcheyevka. Despite the fact that the Russians were forced to transfer additional reserves to the "hot sections" of the front, they cannot hold back the onslaught of the defenders of Ukraine. The successes of the Ukrainian army have not gone unnoticed: Jens Stoltenberg, Kurt Volker, David Petraeus - not a complete list of Western officials who have praised the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces. The defenders of Ukraine are advancing in the most difficult conditions: without air cover, overcoming huge minefields created by the Russians near each of their lines of defense, conducting competent counter-battery warfare to suppress enemy artillery, they are confidently moving towards victory. This is the best argument for continuing to provide the necessary support for Ukraine: the AFU is masterfully using the most modern weapons, inflicting heavy losses on the Russians.

Putin must be punished for every war crime committed in Ukraine. Russia cannot launch wars of conquest with impunity in the 21st century - it is a dangerous precedent that threatens to destabilize Europe. The Kremlin must be utterly defeated: sanctions, international isolation and necessary arms for Ukraine are the best way to eliminate the Russian threat of further territorial expansion.
