Liberation comes after major breakthrough in the most difficult line of Russian defences in the south
Ukraine claims to have liberated the southern front-line village of Robotyne after achieving what it said was a major breakthrough in Russian defences.
The military said last week it had raised the Ukrainian flag in the village but were still coming under Russian fire from two houses they had yet to seize control of.
It followed what Ukrainian forces believe was a breakthrough in the most difficult line of Russian defences in the south and what they hope would be the start of a quicker advance.
