Putin: Ukraine seeing major losses in counterattack

Kyiv disputes Russian leader's claim, says counteroffensive is 'moving forward'

MOSCOW: President Vladimir Putin claimed on Tuesday that Ukraine's casualties in its much-anticipated counteroffensive were 10 times higher than Moscow's, even as Kyiv said it was making gains and 'moving forward.'

His assessment came hours after Russia claimed it had captured Western armored vehicles from Kyiv's forces on the battlefield.
