While attention has focused on the Khakovka dam disaster in Ukraine this week, the long-heralded counter-offensive has been underway for a few days now and there's an awful lot riding on it.

Ukraine is committing a carefully husbanded reserve of units trained and equipped by the West, hoping to free large tracts of occupied territory.

Unsurprisingly given the stakes, President Zelensky's government has been tight lipped about it, with one or two officials even claiming it hadn't started. But events on the battlefield show us clearly it has.

Using drone footage and maps, Newsnight’s Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban gives a comprehensive analysis of what the counter offensive has achieved a few days in.
