The Ukrainian army recently opened a quick counterattack in Kharkov province, the Northeast of the country, declaring a re -control of 6,000 km2 of territory since the beginning of September.

The US -based war -based war assesses that Ukraine turns the situation in the direction of their benefits, but the current counterattack cannot end the battle.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 16, the battlefield was basically unchanged and the military did not want to act in a hurry.
