Ukraine troops ‘outnumbered Russia’s 8 times’ in counterattack

Ukrainian forces outnumbered Russian troops by eight times during the rapid Ukrainian counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region, a Russian-installed official said. Russian shelling has again cut off power and water supplies to Kharkiv, the mayor of Ukraine’s second-largest city has said. Earlier, Kharkiv’s regional governor had said 80 percent of power in the city had been restored following Russian shelling on Sunday, which followed a large Ukrainian counteroffensive to recapture territory in the area.
