TheVoiceOfJoyce The speed of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, has scared the Russian separatists in the two territories of the Donbas region. They’d like Russian protection and that can only come, they believe, with a vote to join Russia. Do these separatists represent all Ukrainians of this region? It’s unlike Ukrainians in Kherson would vote for Russia. On the diplomatic side, Turkey’s, Erdogan, is stating all land invaded should be returned to Ukraine and the a settlement negotiated. Erdogan proposal includes Crimea. The ball may be shifting to Diplomatic settlement for the benefit of the Global Community being harmed by this War , along with the Ukrainians.

Ukraine has recaptured a village close to the eastern city of Lysychansk, in a small but symbolic victory that means Russia no longer has full control of the Luhansk region, one of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s key war aims. Luhansk’s governor, Serhiy Haidai, said Ukraine’s armed forces were in “complete control” of Bilohorivka. “It’s a suburb of Lysychansk. Soon we will drive these scumbags out of there with a broom,” he said. “Step by step, centimetre by centimetre, we will liberate our entire land from the invaders.”

The pace of Ukrainian forces’ advance in the north-east had thrown Russian forces into a “panic”, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said in his nightly address. Zelenskiy said he was now focused on “speed” in liberated areas. “The speed at which our troops are moving. The speed in restoring normal life,” he said.
