This bombing comes as Kiev launched a counterattack that extended along the front, which has a distance of about 1,000 km, and announced recording some victories, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to say that the Ukrainian losses are heavy. Western military experts had warned against rushing to talk about progress in the military campaign and that Ukraine’s victory over qualified and well-trained Russian forces could take months, if not years.
