After Russia retreats in Ukraine, what now for Putin's war?

Ukrainian forces have pushed Russian troops out of the Kharkiv region and kept driving forward in the east and south, leaving Vladimir Putin on the defensive.

The tide appears to have turned.

In a development that stunned the watching world as much as the Kremlin, Ukrainian troops have set Russian President Vladimir Putin back on his heels after more than six months of grinding conflict — raising hopes that Kyiv could push on and drive Moscow's invaders out of even more territory.

Ukrainian forces have routed Russian soldiers from the northeastern region of Kharkiv, forcing Putin's men to retreat after a surprise counteroffensive left the Kremlin's cheerleaders scrambling to adjust and its military racing to gather its defenses in the east and south.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday his country's military had retaken around 6,000 square kilometers (2,400 square miles) of territory this month, roughly the size of Delaware.

NBC News has not verified the claims.
