'Putin's revenge: Devastating missile strikes hit Ukraine's power grid as payback for military humiliation - as Russian troops are pushed back to the border in some regions
2022-09-12
  • Ukrainian forces have chased Russian troops back across the border in Kharkiv after stunning counter-attack

  • Soldiers filmed themselves at checkpoint, ripping down Russian flags and replacing them with Ukrainian ones

  • Echoes earlier scenes as rapid advance captured territory while Putin's men 'fled like Olympic sprinters'

  • Russia then stuck power stations and water supply across the region in what was dubbed a 'coward's revenge'

#1  Looks to me like Ukraine's left flank near Kharhiv is exposed if Russians have any reserves left to throw at it. I wouldn't get too cocky just yet.
