‘We’re seeing the first results of the counteroffensive’, says Kyiv spokesman as Donetsk village recaptured
Kyiv has made clear that it will not announce the start of its long-awaited counteroffensive, but Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday that “counter-offensive and defensive actions are taking place ... but I will not say in detail what stage they are at.”
Moscow’s forces continued to fire missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities, killing three civilians in the Black Sea port of Odesa on Saturday. Ukrainian interior minister Ihor Klymenko said 77 towns and villages had been flooded in Kherson and neighbouring Mykolaiv region, and that 35 people were still missing, including seven children, in the former. Six people had been confirmed dead in Kherson, and about 2,700 residents had been evacuated, he added.
