Ukraine launches counteroffensive against Russia amid humanitarian crisis from destroyed dam
- Ukraine initiated attacks on various points across the frontline with Russian forces, indicating a possible counteroffensive.
- The destruction of a dam in Ukraine's Russian-occupied Kherson region could complicate some of Ukraine's plans and caused flooding, deaths, displacement, and an environmental disaster.
- Ukraine and NATO accuse Russia of being behind the dam's destruction, while Russia blames Ukraine for the damage and says it was a distraction from a failed counteroffensive.
- The counteroffensive comes after months of buildup and could be crucial in Kyiv's bid to reclaim occupied territory and shore up allies’ resolve to keep supplying weapons.
- The success or failure of the counteroffensive will influence discussions of future support for Ukraine and debates about how to guarantee its future security.
