* Wagner boss Prigozhin said on Thursday that Ukraine's "counteroffensive is in full swing."
* Ukrainian forces have reported counterattacks near the war-torn city of Bakhmut.
* But President Zelenskyy said earlier that Kyiv still needs "more time" before a major assault.
Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed Thursday that Ukraine's much-anticipated counteroffensive is in "full swing," rebuffing comments made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just hours earlier about delaying major operations.
On his social media channels, Prigozhin accused Zelenskyy of lying when he said in a media interview that Ukraine needed more time before it could carry out a counteroffensive.

I was under the impression it's been underway for about a week. A few days before the Wagner boss went ballistic. /Wonder why?
Ukraine might not be dominating the Bakhmut siege, but neither is Russia. Seems now like UKR is using Bakhmut as a Russian meat grinder.
The big story here is the UK supplying storm shadow cruise missiles
