In the first sentence of the article it changes from an offensive to an attack. The truth probably is that they repelled a Johnny detail.





Quote:
Russia's defence ministry says it has thwarted a major Ukrainian attack in Donetsk, in the latest sign that a wider counter-offensive may have begun.


Video of what Russia says is the battle shows military vehicles under heavy fire in fields. Russia claims it killed 300 troops and destroyed 16 tanks.


However Moscow's claims have not been independently verified.


And on Monday, Ukraine's military said it had no information about a major attack in the region.


"We do not have such information and we do not comment on any kind of fake," a Ukrainian army spokesperson told Reuters.
