Tuesday, September 13, 2022Ukraine makes 'significant progress' against Russia — US
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that Ukrainian forces had made important progress in their counter-offensive against Russian troops, although it was too early to predict the outcome.
"Clearly we've seen significant progress by the Ukrainians, particularly in the northeast, and that is a product of the support we've provided, but first and foremost it's a product of the extraordinary courage and resilience of the Ukrainian armed forces and the Ukrainian people," Blinken told reporters in Mexico City.
Blinken said the Ukraine conflict was likely to continue for some time as Russia still has very significant forces and arms in Ukraine that it was still using "indiscriminately" against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
