London 12th Sep : Soldiers with British accents have been captured fighting in Ukrainian colors as Ukraine makes astonishing gains in the battle against Russian troops, Daily Mail reported.The footage recorded by GoPro cameras has been reported to show foreign legionaries fighting the Ukrainian Kharkiv Oblast counter-offensive.
The country’s progress has taken the Kremlin by surprise, with intelligence experts hailing the event as a major turning point in the war’s six-month duration, Daily Mail reported.

Ukraine claimed it had reclaimed over 1158 square miles (3,000 square kilometers) during the month of April from Russian troops in an offensive to counterbalance the northeastern region of the country.
Ukrainian general Valeriy Zaluzhny stated in a statement posted on social mediathat “Since the beginning of September over 3,000 square kilometers are under Ukrainian control.”
“Around Kharkiv, we have begun to expand not just in the east and south but as well towards the north.We are only 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the border.”
The speed of Ukraine’s advance with photos posted by Kyiv officials of their troops waving the Ukrainian flag in liberated towns after moving more than 30 miles has sparked discussions in Moscow that their incursion will be ended in the most humiliating defeats, Daily Mail reported.
