What is known about the first results of Ukraine's attacks by Western weapons on the Russian Federation
"Banker" in a comment to journalists of the publication noted that a series of strikes by Western weapons on strategic targets on the territory of the aggressor country enabled the Ukrainian military to carry out several successful counterattacks.
The Russian military can no longer feel impunity and security, - assured the SBU officer.

According to the Ukrainian military on the front lines, supplies of ammunition and weapons to the front lines from Western partners are beginning to affect the situation at the front.
We see the impact of aid every day. Artillery, rocket systems of long-range salvo fire with different types of ammunition and sub-munitions - this affects the overall picture on the battlefield. We are deploying the most effective weapon systems in those areas where the Russians are trying to break through the defense lines, and there is a significant slowdown in the Russian advance, - says Ivan, an officer of the 148th Artillery Brigade.
How Western partners helped Ukraine thwart the new offensive of the Russian army in the Kharkiv region
The authors of the material emphasize that the threat of re-occupation of part of the Kharkiv region by the criminal army of the Russian Federation convinced Western partners of the need to lift restrictions on the use of Western weapons for Ukraine.
This allowed Kyiv to strike and destroy or seriously damage key facilities on the territory of Russia.
Ukraine began to launch HIMARS strikes at targets in the Belgorod region and forced the Russians to move their S-300 systems, from which they used to attack Kharkiv, much further, so that Kharkiv is now out of range of the Russian S-300 systems, - the independent defense analyst emphasizes and the director of Rochan Consulting Konrad Muzyka.
