But the Counter Offensive hasn't started in real anger yet.

Ukraine forces are still conducting counter battery and creating toeholds in the defence lines where they can use as a spring board for the actual breakthrough.

They're trying to get the Russians to commit their reserves across many parts of the front, I image. Then when they do start their offensive in force they'll be able to get some immediate momentum.

Unfortunately the russians spend a lot of time mining and digging trenches. So it is slow going for now
