> ***Ukraine may have temporarily halted its counteroffensive into Russian-occupied areas to re-evaluate its tactics***, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). This comes after ***Moscow rowed back on a Russian official’s admission that the town of Piatykhatkyin had been retaken.***

**Ukraine may have temporarily halted it’s counteroffensive ? Interesting because Ukraine hesitated to acknowledge the counteroffensive had started.** **And now it’s been halted? Temporarily?**

**Moscow rowed back on admission Piatykhatkyin had been retaken?** **I understand there’s been some back and forth about this town- [Having been following Military Summary.](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnc496-PPmFZVKlYxUnToA) It’s a situation that’s in flux.**

**Given the fact that Ukraine is dependent on western largesse to wage their proxy war, why has Ukraine opted to pause the counter offensive that they hesitated to begin?**
