Ukraine Recaptures 46 Settlements; Putin’s Troops Pushed Back From Large Part of Kherson Region

Ukraine has recaptured dozens of settlements pushing back Russian troops from a large part of the Kherson region. The regional governor has confirmed that 46 settlements are back under the control of Ukraine.

But at least some are located to the south, along the Black Sea coast which is close to the city itself. Russia struck back by hitting Mykolaiv – down the coast from Kherson – with artillery overnight, destroying a medical centre.

Ukraine has previously boasted that the whole of Kherson – city and region – will be back under its control by September, in what would be a hammer blow for Putin, according to Daily Mail.
