Zelenskyi's evening speech:Today is a day that should end with a special thanks to all our air defense soldiers for every downed Russian missile.Now the data is still being verified, but according to preliminary reports, more than 30 missiles were shot down

during today's missile raid alone - the absolute majority of those that were used against us.There are several hits, and there are falling fragments of missiles. But it is very important that the audacity of this attack was destroyed. Air defense - well done! Thank

you to everyone who protects the Ukrainian sky. And we work every day to ensure that our soldiers have more and more opportunities to protect Ukraine, our cities and people. Today was no exception. The first emergency meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council

took place today. We agreed on this meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, and in just a few days we convened the Council. Both Jens and all allied states responded promptly and in solidarity. Glory to all who defend Ukraine! By the way, our

boys at the front had very good results today. Well done Details later.Glory to Ukraine!

Roughly two months on from the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south and east of the country, it appears that the long-awaited main thrust of that operation may now be happening. That, at least, is the conclusion of two unnamed Pentagon officials, speaking to The New York Times today.
Those officials said that the main thrust was focusing in an area in the southeast of Ukraine and involved “thousands of reinforcements.” Notably, it seems that a significant quantity of these reinforcements were trained in Western countries and therefore represent more capable troops, held back for just this eventuality.

While details of new developments in the counteroffensive remain understandably murky, at least for now, it is noteworthy that the comments from the Pentagon officials also broadly tally with recent accounts from Russian officials.

Already, the Russian Ministry of Defense has spoken of a “massive” assault and fierce battles south of Orikhiv, a Ukrainian-held town roughly 60 miles north of the Sea of Azov. According to Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-installed official in southern Ukraine, the assault in question involved Western-trained Ukrainian troops who were equipped with around 100 armored vehicles, including German-made Leopard 2 main battle tanks and U.S.-made M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

All that being said, caution is needed when it comes to definitively understand exactly what is or isn't going on across the battlefield. Deliberate feints designed to sow confusion or misdirect Russian resources, as well as just enhancing forces in key areas where tactical opportunities present themselves could also be at play.
