French President Emmanuel Macron said at a joint press conference in Paris with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish President Duda that the Ukrainian reversal offensive would be “as successful as possible and the subsequent negotiation phase can be started on favorable terms.” “Our support will continue as long as it is needed,” he said.
Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council (NSC), said at the White House on Ukraine’s counteroffensive that “we will refrain from making verbal assessments.”
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Marial said the counteroffensive had recaptured more settlements in the east. He said on social media Telegram that he had liberated seven settlements and regained control over 90 square kilometers of Donetsk and Tauriya regions.
The Russian government has not officially commented, but a Russian military blogger confirmed that Ukrainian forces had recaptured Strozheve and Novodaryvka in Donetsk and Zaporizhia provinces, adding that clashes had taken place outside Makarivka. Bloomberg was unable to independently corroborate this information.
