Ukraine gaining ground in war against Russia 

(CNN) — Ukraine is making gains in its counteroffensive against Russia, a growing number of US and Ukrainian officials say. In the last week alone, Ukrainian forces rolled through lines of Russian defenses and recaptured more than 3,000 square kilometers of territory, according to Ukrainian military officials. 

Over the weekend, the Russian retreat continued from border areas that had been occupied since March. Villages within five kilometers of the border were also raising the Ukrainian flag. 

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner said Sunday on CNN that part of Ukraine’s success could be attributed to the “tremendous support from the United States and our NATO allies” considering the immense amount of military equipment and intelligence that has been provided.
