Government forces in Ukraine are trying to seize the initiative from Russian troops before the arrival of winter, with a counter-offensive is already under way in the south.
Ukrainians are now preparing to expand this tactic in the east to take back land lost in Donbas and around Kharkiv in the north.
Correspondent Quentin Sommerville and camera-journalist Darren Conway were given exclusive access to a unit of Ukrainian troops.

I'm from Ukraine. It is our army who are shelling the nuclear plant, because our Zelenskyy is afraid Russia to take control over the whole region.
And…it failed
putin is One of the world's most prolific serial killers .
Shout out to the Ukrainians for shelling the power plant.
# World for Ukraine ## never again ###
I'm confident ukrainian will get it done, they are a very smart group…
We need ease in this world. What the going on in this world? Please stop the war, stop the war .
Oh yeah, can't wait to hear from MSM how Ukraine has recovered 150% of Ukrainian territory.
is Ukraine a democracy "of our values"?
1/ the laws on languages are anything but not democratic, it is a linguistic dictatorship for the sole benefit of the Ukrainian language. Russian speakers who represent half of Ukrainian speakers do not even have the right to education in Russian for their children at school, neither television in Russian, nor menus in restaurants in Russian nor subtitles in Russian at the movies or at the Opera
2/President Zelensky frauded his country's tax authorities (Pandora Papers investigation by 100 top journalists), his main mentor is Ihor Kholomoisky (who embezzled the equivalent of 5% of Ukrainian GNP!) he is an oligarch and a criminal
3/ In 2010 President Victor Youtchenko declared "hero" of Ukraine Stepan Bandera a collaborator with the Nazis and icon of the infamous Azov regiment… The European Parliament and the Simon Wiesentahl Center had condemned this heroization
4/ Parades in memory of the Ukrainian SS division Galichina took place on several occasions, the last of which was in Kiev… There is a monument commemorating this SS division in the city of Lvov, the only memorial monument in the world for the SS. …
5/ In the Economist Intelligence Unit, Ukraine ranks only 83rd place in democracy.
6 / And in terms of corruption according to "Transparency International" Ukraine comes in 123rd place out of 180. Indeed it is common knowledge that 5-7oligarchs have their strong hands on the economy.
7/ Ukraine orders its "partners" to cut off Russian gas at the risk of seriously damaging Europe's economy while Ukraine itself receives Russian gas and even royalties by pipeline passage thru Ukraine…
8/ Presenting itself as always "Paragon" of virtue, Ukraine is nevertheless pinpointed out by Amnesty International for endangering the lives of civilians by using civilian buildings as military bases. To think that they would use their own population as a shield human there would be only tiny steps. Ukraine even accuses Amnesty of collusion with Russia, which is on border of ridiculouness.
9 / Unlike truly democratic and peaceful states, Ukraine was part of a coalition violating international law under false evidences, of the USA and its 2003 invasion in Iraq which caused a total of 1/2 million deaths,
Ukraine is surely disqualified for her incessant demand for respect for international law when itself broke this law.
Ukraine also refused to implement agreements it had itself signed; the Minsk 2 agreements, under pressure from Ukrainian neo nazis ultra-nationalists and probably from the USA, dragging its country into the war.
Whereas these remarks are all verifiable, it is up to everyone to judge whether or not Ukraine is a democratic state defending the "democratic" values of the West as it is systematically affirmed
Z Bogiem, Ukraińcy.
Propaganda, Ukraine is lost already.
Members of the public i urge you to do a background check on liz truss and kier starmer and you see that NONE of those 2 should be in power, anyone in Jimmy Savilles circle can NOT be trusted. Just remember she's one of the people who's messed the NHS up, she's done so much bad things and this is the kind of people you want running the country
WINTER IS COMING 😁😁😁😁
It fills me with rage when idiots in the West say the war is Ukraine's fault.
My Goodness. I WAS BORN AND FROM Edinburgh 🏴. But the reporters accent us very NIPPY.
And GET A GRIP. Ukraine will NEVER recapture the Donbass Region.
This is where the MAIN Russian army is . This Army once literates the whole Region. Will swing around and join the Southern fighting force.
Then March all the way to Odessa.
Ukraine is DOOMED! THEY JUST NOT GOT THE MAN POWER OF PROFESSIONAL INFANTRY.
Ukraine will get cut completely off from the sea.
Once Russia Liberates Odessa. I think they will be Happy..
A HUGE PRIZE 🏆 Can Ukraine still Exist as a country ? I'm not sure. Their economy has been Destroyed. How can they rebuild. No access to the Sea. 🤔
Lol..the joker zelensky is dreaming to conquer Russia and bcoz of his idocricy common Ukrainian's are paying their blood
I hoping Ukrainian they will get through this😭😭jesus Christ

Not a hope in hell of retaking donbass. The majority support Russia
Like I've heard one of you saying. God is with you. I believe that. I always have. You will keep your FREEDOM! GOD BLESS UKRAINE AND IT'S PEOPLE AND VOLUNTEERS!!
Much Respect for Ukraine
bracing is preparing for something unpleasant that's COMING TO YOU. Bracing is not preparing for something that YOU INITIATED
Please fix your vocabulary
Being on the defensive side can dish out more casualties to the opposing side as did before by ukraine but i feel russia being the more powerful one the ukrainian counteroffensive might not end well! The last guy melts my heart
Since Boris stopped any chance of a peaceful end, I don't support any side of this stupid war.
Russia needs to quit playing with these Nazis and do what the US did to Iraq.
Pfff, stupid idiots, they're all gonna die
Glory to ukraine 🇺🇦
Let's Go Ukraine 🪖🙏🏾
Почитал комментарии,посмеялся😂Как же вам идиотам промыли мозги вы даже не понимаете что происходит😅Лживые западные СМИ сделали из людей тупых дураков
Western lies and propaganda
The Donbas has seen fighting since way before February. It is not just going to end all of a sudden, all we can do is pray for peace
and they all died but were massacred by Russian soldiers..but in the propaganda media ukraine and western countries they managed to win..ukraine people were deceived by propaganda and plunged ukraine deeper
Say No To War
Humankind is warned again and again
Not to invite war in their land
They are reminded not to forget the history
How War destroyed everything
How It inflicted the indelible wound,
pain and suffering on human and humanity that even time couldn't heal
Not to forget how It turned the homeland into the Butcher land
how people were forced to leave their own home and become reufgee in the refugee camps
Not to forget the horrific stories of how people were enslaved, decapitated mutilated ,violated, brutalized, and slaughtered.
How it rained cats and dogs not the drops of water but bombs.
And not to forget the atomic bombings
on the body
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Do not forget
War never comes alone but along with the savage, ravage, and pieces of the peace
War is the devil, whose thirst is quenched by the blood, and hunger is satisfied with the violent eruption of destruction, and devastation of every human, region and nation that invite it to their territory
It was, it is and will be the jaws of the death
A suicidal act permitted, committed and assigned by humankind.
Irak Libya Afghanistan! Why isn’t the us under sanctions?
Be careful the Lord will help you all so pray I'm praying
