(Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday reported “good news” from the Kharkiv region east of Kyiv, saying some settlements had been recaptured from Russian forces.
In an evening video address, he also thanked Ukrainian artillery troops for what he said were successful strikes against Moscow’s forces in the south of Ukraine.
