Ukraine's military command said its forces liberated 26 settlements in a push around Oleksandrivka in southeastern Ukraine, in an operation that ran for more than six months.
Of the liberated settlements, 12 are located in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, 10 in the Donetsk region and four in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Kyiv authorities insist that the Oleksandrivka-direction counteroffensive was designed to blunt Russia's spring-summer offensive and push Russian troops out of Dnipropetrovsk region, an area Moscow had been trying to carve into a buffer zone.
