Washington DC (UPI) Jun 12, 2021 - Ukrainian forces said Monday they recaptured four villages in the Donetsk region as its long-awaited counter-offensive swung into gear, but early advances are being measured in yards rather than miles.
On Sunday, Ukrainian officials said their troops took the Donestk villages of Blahodatne, Makarivka and Neskuchne, south of the town of Velyka Novosilka. Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar reported Monday that the Zaporizhzhia province settlements of Lobkove, Levadne and Novodrivka were also now back under Ukrainian control.
