ukrainian forces are pushing ahead with their counter offensive after recapturing a key eastern town from russia. the ukrainian military says it struck several russian command posts and ammunition depos moscow's defense. ministry is also claiming to have destroyed ukrainian weapons. depos, president zalinski says li mon and the eastern de nest region has been quote, fully cleared of russian troops who retreated from the town on saturday. a video shared by ukrainian police up here to show their forces tearing down russian flags . well, meanwhile, u. s. defense minister lloyd austin said you cranes, victory and lemon would be a strategic headache for russia. seeks to hold off a counter offensive elsewhere. we are very courage by what we're saying right now. we've and sits astride the supply lines of the, of the russians. and they've, they've used those routes to, to,

to push men and material down to the south to the west. and without those routes, it'll be more difficult. so this presents a sort of a dilemma for, for the russians going forward. new w correspondent, ne connelly and key of told me that the loss of the mom is a major blow to russian president vladimir putin. not only is it a crucial strategic point in terms of the logistics of russia's invasion of ukraine's. we heard from lloyd austin there. it's just about the optics and the timing. you know, this is just a day after a couple of days after this huge event in moscow in the kremlin, with vladimir putin saying that russia is here to stay, that russia is not gonna budge. and he, we, he, we've seen, you know, the opposite being proved. we've seen ukraine successfully rolling back for some control pulling down russian flags pulling down signs and symbols of the kind of russian takeover. and this is, this is linda yet screeching. so this is the reason that russia now claims as its own and you, ukraine, is actually able to create facts on the grounds. this is

a very big deal. and you know, it potentially with few more weeks to go before the winter, really sets in and fighting those more difficult as the real prospect of ukraine heading towards their city 7 or the near city chance, which were basically russia's only big wind of the summer. russia invested thousands of lives and a lot of technology is capturing those cities at, you know, very, very slow pace. now ukraine's within striking distance is really we launched a wave of soul searching in russia. huge amounts. kristen for the russian military leadership, bladder puter, under a lot of pressure. even people who are in favor of this invasion of ukraine and a sense that even rushes mobilization of tens and hundreds of thousands of civilians is not actually having effect yet. and you can really on a roll. so, nick, what do we know about russia's military strategy? what are they likely to do next? well, the fair hearing here is that given these failures on the battlefield, given russia's inability to really change its tactics to deal with all the western

equipment that ukraine is getting. they are going to increasingly focus their attention on civilian infrastructure and basically try and make life as difficult responsible for as many claims they can. the sooner thing is that in the middle of this war, you're hearing key. if you still have that functioning perfectly have electricity, you have gas have all the kind of basics of modern civilization. and the expectation is that russia will try and make life so uncomfortable, that the ukraine population puts pressure on its leaders to end this war on russia's term. so that's really the thing that people are expecting him did is nicole lynette connelly reporting from here. thank you. so much in the united states, the death toll of hurricane ian has increased to more than 4 dozen. most of those in florida. the storm also devastated cuba, where residents are only now seeing power restored to their homes. 5 days after the hurricane knocked out electricity across the entire island, rescue teams on a mission to find survivors. they've already taken dozens of florida residents to
