Western media are trying to improve Kiev’s image and create new expectations around the so-called „counteroffensive“. In an article published by the New York Times on July 26, authors stated that „Ukraine has launched the main thrust of its counteroffensive“. It was reported that the Ukrainian authorities had authorized a new war effort, giving an important boost to the operation. At this phase, it is said that a large number of NATO-trained troops are being moved to the front lines. The objective is to gain territory in the regions liberated by the Russians, mainly in the south of the country.
