Western defense officials and analysts say said they believe Russian forces are setting up a new defensive line in Ukraine’s northeast after Kyiv’s troops broke through the previous one and tried to press their advances further into the east.
Russian President Vladimir Putin gestures as he speaks to the media after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Friday, Sept. 16, 2022. – Pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin mounted on the battlefield and in the halls of global power as Ukrainian troops pushed their counteroffensive Saturday to advance farther into Ukraine's partly recaptured northeast.
"We must find some way out and you too must contribute to that,” Modi stressed in a rare public rebuke. After the Russian troops retreated from the city of Izium, Ukrainian authorities discovered a mass grave site,. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says more than 440 graves have been found at the site but that the number of victims is not yet known.
Videos circulating online Saturday indicated that Ukrainian forces were continuing to retake land from Russian forces in the country's embattled east, although their veracity could not be independently verified. Syniehubov said remnants suggested the Russians fired S-300 surface-to-air missiles at the city. The S-300 is designed for striking missiles or aircraft in the sky, not targets on the ground. Analysts say Russia’s use of the missiles suggest they may be running out of some precision munitions.
Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region also came under Russian fire overnight, according to its governor, Valentyn Reznichenko. “The enemy attacked six times and launched more than 90 deadly projectiles on peaceful cities and villages,” he said.
