In an interview with CNN on Sunday, Blinken emphasised that the counteroffensive is still in its early stages and will likely take several months to unfold. Despite Ukraine’s successes in recapturing some villages in the south and territory around the devastated city of Bakhmut in the east, they have yet to achieve a major breakthrough against heavily fortified Russian lines.
