The U.K. Ministry of Defense said Ukraine has managed a degree of 'tactical surprise' in its counteroffensive in the south.
On Friday, spokesperson for the southern Ukrainian military command, Natalia Humeniuk said that Russian forces had suffered"significant losses" in the Kherson Oblast, although Russia has denied Kyiv's claims of progress in the region.
Ukraine has restricted journalists from access to the offensive and have been tight-lipped about its progress, making it tricky to verify how the battle is playing out. However Western officials said on Friday that the"signs are good at the moment," Sky News reported. Also on Friday, the U.S. think tank the Institute for the Study of War [ISW] said that Russia and its proxy officials were trying to"amplify false claims" that the counteroffensive was"detrimental to Ukraine's continued existence."
