EXCERPT:
BELL: "Pam, more than 2,000 square kilometers of territory recaptured by Ukrainian forces since the 1st of September, that is what president Zelenskyy announced tonight in the nightly address. Really remarkable advances not just being made down in the southern parts of the country where a counter offensive kicked off on August 29th but much more spectacularly in eastern Ukraine where a second counter offensive began just five days ago. What we’ve seen over the course of the last few days specifically since Thursday is Ukrainian forces sweep eastward with remarkable speed taking village after village with images appearing on social media. This is after all a counter offensive that is the subject of a media blackout. It’s the pictures being posted by the soldiers themselves that are showing people being liberated in those villages and Ukrainian flags being put on rooftops.”
