Ukraine’s Army Chief, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi says Ukrainian forces have advanced in the south and recaptured 12 new settlements in the last 24 hours.
Earlier, Russia said its forces would retreat from the west bank of the Dnipro River, which includes Kherson, the only regional capital Moscow had captured since invading Ukraine in February.
However, Zaluzhnyi wrote in a post on Telegram, “We can’t yet confirm or deny the information of the so-called withdrawal of Russian occupation troops from Kherson. We continue to conduct the offensive operation in line with our plan.”
