Blinken says Ukraine has taken back 50% of territory that Russia seized
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that while Ukraine has reconquered half the territory that Russia initially seized in its invasion, Kyiv faced a "a very hard fight" to win back more.
WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that while Ukraine has reconquered half the territory that Russia initially seized in its invasion, Kyiv faced a "a very hard fight" to win back more.
"It’s already taken back about 50% of what was initially seized," Blinken said in an interview to CNN on Sunday.
"These are still relatively early days of the counteroffensive. It is tough," he said, adding: "It will not play out over the next week or two. We’re still looking I think at several months."
Hopes that Ukraine could quickly clear Moscow's forces from its territory following the launch of a summer counteroffensive are fading as Kyiv's troops struggle to breach heavily entrenched Russian positions in the country's south and east.
Late last month President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was quoted as saying that progress against Russian forces was "slower than desired" but that Kyiv would not be pressured into speeding it up.

"The salutes, Za Dom -Spremni! (the Ustaše equivalent of the Nazi Sieg heil).and Slava Ukrainy!Heroiam Slava! (Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!) fulfilled similar functions, were introduced at the same time, and were both to be carried out with a raised right arm. They were used by the groups that massacred Jews and called for revolutionary, deadly violence against their perceived enemies. In short, they were, just like analogous salutes employed by German, Austrian, French, Spanish, Hungarian, and Romanian groups fascist salutes.
I'm sorry your soviet comrades are getting their shit pushed in and the ruble is becoming worthless.
Oh and here's some proof of nazis in Russia. Enjoy!
That has literally nothing to do with what I commented. I haven't said anything supporting Russia, which certainly isn't "soviet" nor comrades, nor is this anything to do with Ukraine being nazis. The point that the article from the third biggest newspaper in Israel is making is that if you're ok with this fascist slogan you should be ok with all the other fascist slogans, and if you're not ok with all the other fascist slogans you shouldn't be ok with this one.
Are you ok with the Germans normalising Zieg Heil again? If not, you should not be participating in normalising this one. You are doing a disservice to living survivors of the massacres.
You only brought up nazis being in Ukraine. Yet, you became offended when I showed you that there are also nazis in Russia. Sounds like you're doing a disservice to the living survivors of the massacres.
The next time you pretend not to support Russia's massacre of the Ukrainians, spout their braindead propaganda about nazis only being in one country, and have a name like "Lenins2ndcat" maybe you should try a little harder to pretend that you're being objective.
You only brought up nazis being in Ukraine.
That is not what the quote says at all, it simply discusses the origin of the phrase, not about whether Ukrainians are nazis. Why is reading comprehension so hard? Support whatever you want but you should rethink normalising fascist slogans out of ignorance.
As for my name, I've made it quite clear russia are not communists and that I do not support them at all many times. Get a grip.
Are you ok with the Germans normalising Zieg Heil again?

That is not what I said at all. Nice straw man argument. Why is reading comprehension so hard for you tankies?
You've made it clear from your name that you fetishize Lenin - A man who massacred more than 8 million people. You're sick in the head, but you're too stupid to realize it.
Nice straw man argument.
It's not a strawman. As the two are analogs, which the previous article points out.
You’ve made it clear from your name that you fetishize Lenin - A man who massacred more than 8 million people. You’re sick in the head, but you’re too stupid to realize it.
So you do fetishize Lenin who massacred 8 million people and you have the audacity to say you're not out here supporting Russia? You're dumb as fuck. Go change all your money into rubles.
Get the fuck out of here you orc.
