From the transcript
It was perhaps the most stunning moment yet in the war, a moment when a conflict that had seemed settled into a stalemate suddenly roared to life. In early September of 2022, Ukrainian forces operating around Harkova blast managed to launch a surprise attack that shattered Russian lines.
Using speedy four-wheel vehicles, the Ukrainians were able to run riot behind Moscow's "undermaned" fences.
Overwhelmed, the Russian side collapsed into a panic flight. What followed was the fastest territorial change since the opening days of the war. In less than a week, Ukrainian forces liberated over 8,000 square kilometers, and while Russian lines would eventually stabilize not far outside of Kapi'anks, the political impact was absolutely enormous.
