 Russia. Ukraine launches large-scale offensive. Ukrainian forces have attacked the Russian troops along five sections of the front line in Donbas during their large-scale offensive, the Russian Defense Ministry said. According to the Defense Ministry, the assault began on the morning of June the 4th. The enemy's goal was to breach our defenses in what they assumed was the most vulnerable section of the front line, the ministry said in a statement. The enemy has failed to reach its goals and was unsuccessful. The ministry stated the Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine had deployed the 23rd and 31st mechanized brigade from its strategic reserves which were supported in battle by other units. Jake Sullivan, U.S. National Security Advisor, described the prospects for the upcoming counterattack of Ukraine as positive. Sullivan said this in an interview with CNN. According to Biden's advisor, the military actions of the Ukrainian forces will lead to them taking back strategically significant territory. Exactly how much, in what places, that will be up to developments on the ground as the Ukrainians get this counteroffensive underway. But we believe that the Ukrainians will meet with success in this counteroffensive. The United States believes that, together with its allies, it has adequately provided Ukraine with military assistance for the upcoming counteroffensive.
