Ukraine claims to have broken through Russian defenses in the Kherson counter-offensive and pushed Russian troops. Intense battles are currently raging between Ukrainian and Russian forces across almost all of the southern region, according to the Ukrainian presidency.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told his people in his nightly video address on Monday that one “won’t hear specifics from any truly responsible person” about Kyiv’s intentions, “because this is war.”

Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces would chase Russia’s forces “to the border.”
