UKRAINE

NBC's Richard Engel in Kyiv has delivered a report from a Ukrainian military base stating that within the past 48 hours Ukraine has engaged in a significant counter-offensive against Russian forces and succeeded in reclaiming lost territory for the first time since the war began.

  • Engel has reported with access to a 'declassified Ukrainian intelligence map' showing the Ukrainian counter-offensive pushing back the Russian advance in the north, north west and east of Kyiv.
  • Engel's report counters earlier suggestions that Russian troops had been surrounded in Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel but strongly suggests that a Russian siege of Kyiv is unlikely in the near future.
  • The mayor of Irpin earlier claimed that 'almost the whole of Irpin is in Ukrainian hands.'
