A Ukrainian official says the country's southern region of Kherson, which fell to Russian troops early in their February offensive, will be recaptured by September as the conflict enters its sixth month
Russia's offensive has killed thousands, displaced millions and flattened cities, particularly in areas in the east and southeast of Ukraine.
"We can say that a turning point has occurred on the battlefield. We see that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are prevailing in their most recent military operations," Khlan said. He added that Russian forces had not repaired the damaged Antonivka bridge and were experiencing difficulties as a result of moving heavy weapons towards Kherson city.
Across Ukraine, there was no let-up in fighting, which erupted after Russian forces sent troops into the country on February 24.
