ukraine Reclaims Irpin. Launches Counter Attacks In Kherson & Kyiv by Igbofam: 4:36pm On Mar 24, 2022
Ukrainian troops have reclaimed territory occupied by Russia as the nation’s troops seek to reverse momentum in the war, according to the US.

A US Department of Defense spokesperson told reporters on Wednesday that Ukraine is defending parts of the country “very smartly, very nimbly, very creatively”.

“We have seen indications that the Ukrainians are going a bit more on the offensive now,” they said. “We have seen them now in places, particularly in the south near Kherson, [where] they have tried to regain territory.”

The US official added that Ukrainian forces had been planning counter-attacks and were now “moving in that direction”.


“The Russians have not achieved any of the strategic objectives that they set out to — or certainly not without loss,” he said, adding that Ukrainian forces have successfully held off Russian attempts to seize the capital by closing in on Kyiv’s suburbs.

Ukraine’s defence ministry said on Tuesday that Russia had partially captured the towns of Irpin, Bucha and Hostomel on the outskirts of Kyiv.

However, Ukraine has now retaken 80 per cent of Irpin, according to the Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Independent, while battles continue in Bucha and Hostomel.

It follows reports that Russian forces targeted Kyiv’s suburbs with phosphorus bombs on Tuesday night as the Kremlin ramps up attempts to storm the capital.

Irpin Mayor Oleksandr Markushin said Russia launched white phosphorus bombs in Hostomel and Irpin, two small surbubs to the northwest of Kyiv with a combined population of less than 75,000. The use of such weapons against civilians is banned under the Geneva Conventions

Russia have not started attacking Kyiv, and the claim that Ukraine forces have started reclaiming the territory they lost to Russians is just wishful thinking, sit tight.

Cry baby cry. Bible says, "No peace for the wicked(and supporters) "

You think it's a joke? why don't you volunteer to fight on behalf of Russia. Isn't it a price worth dying for? After all you guys has been ranting all over the place that USA should be dealt with. Okay now, go and deal with Ukraine first nah.

You think that Europeans that has been fighting wars upon wars to defend their territory since 4th Century are like some daft Black African countries?

Read well. Kyiv has Suburbs. The article talks about the outskirts of Kyiv. Little rural communities. You think you know more than the US who can see everything going on in Ukraine right from Space using their satellites?

Ukraine has reclaimed Irpin and also their sea port at Berdyansk

The way all the news is being reported from one perspective makes me wonder the intention of these media houses.

People are dying, access to food and basics have been denied to people and civilians are trapped. Stop making it seem like Ukraine is winning.

Stop fanning the war. The media should report the Ugly side of things, encourage peace talks and Russia needs to withdraw ASAP.

How can you invade a sovereign nation ? Imagine waking up to lose everything you have ever worked for and your cities are being left in ruins that all you have to be grateful for is managing to escape with your life. This war is totally uncalled for. Stop the madness Putin !

Did I hear you say invade ? Infact after this if anyone advises him anything about war he will have you jailed for life... He will really appreciate peace after this whole stress .
Haven't you noticed how other warmongers namely china and North Korea have been behaving themselves lately ?

Everyone has seen that what they see in movies and call of duty video games are not the reality at all . Suddenly everyone will come to appreciate peace after this ..

vladimir putin's will surely fail woefully on his bad and negatives plans for all over the world just because of his hatred for United States of America, and America nahhh your great grandfathers almost on everything's


United States of America, Nato and the west countries are definitely coming for you Vladimir Putin's just watch and see

I just pity those people supporting Vladimir Putin senselessly invasion of a sovereignty country, even to the extnt of some of them telling Ukraine's president to surrender his own nation to the aggressors, just imagine that, so assuming Cameroon invade Nigeria tomorrow and you are expecting Nigeria to surrender to Cameroon please in the name of what please it sound even stupid to hear
