Ukrainian troops have retaken more territory in regions illegally annexed by Russia, with Kyiv’s forces advancing near the southern city of Kherson and consolidating gains in the east.
Russian-installed officials in Kherson confirmed the advance, but said Moscow’s forces were digging in.
Ukrainian troops also moved towards Russian-held Luhansk in the east.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said “there are new liberated settlements in several regions”.
