Ukrainian sources debunk NYT publication about Ukraine's success in Donetsk

According to The New York Times, the Ukrainian Army nearly halted the advance of the Russian troops in Donetsk and started retaking the lost territories. According to Ukrainian sources cited by The New York Times, the Ukrainian military succeeded in stopping the advance of the Russian forces in the Donetsk region on the eastern front. While Russia still holds the initiative in offensive operations, the front line in Ukraine is reportedly close to stabilization, primarily due to the exhaustion of the Russian forces, harsh weather conditions, and successful adjustments in Ukrainian defensive tactics, the newspaper wrote. After months of sustained and successful advances, the Russian military is now struggling to replenish its ranks and reinforce its dwindling offensive units with new personnel.
