Kyiv The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for the last several months. Meanwhile, Russian troops occupied Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. However, now the Russian army seems to be retreating. Ukraine’s army chief said on Sunday that Ukrainian forces were driving Russian troops out of the Kharkiv region. Ukrainian officials have said that the Russian army is now withdrawing. In addition, officials said Russia’s retaliatory attacks on civilian infrastructure, including a thermal power station in Kharkiv, have caused widespread blackouts. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on Twitter of the attacks, “No military facilities, people suffering from darkness and heat.” At the same time, Russia has denied that its military intentionally targets Ukrainian civilians.

Zelensky described Ukraine’s invasion as a potential breakthrough in the six-month-old war and said that if Kyiv gets more powerful weapons, it could see greater territorial gains in the winter. Ukraine’s top commander, General Valery Jaluzny, said the armed forces had gained control of more than 3,000 square kilometers (1,158 sq mi) since the beginning of this month. Zelensky said late Sunday that the Russian attacks led to a complete blackout in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, and a partial blackout in the Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions. It should be noted that Ukraine’s immediate action to retake Russian-occupied territories in the north-eastern Kharkiv region forced Russia to withdraw its troops.

In a video released late Saturday, the Ukrainian president mocked the Russian military, saying, “These days, the Russian military is doing its best and running.” This is seen as a success as he foiled an attempt to control Russia. The capital, Kyiv, at the start of the war about seven months ago. At the same time, arguing in favor of its defense, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that the withdrawal of troops from Izium and other regions of the Kharkiv region is aimed at strengthening the Russian army in the neighboring Donetsk region.
