Ukrainian forces have broken through part of Russia's defense of the disputed Kherson region, according to officials, advancing from the region’s northeast into a territory Russia had claimed to annex as its own on Friday.
Ukrainian forces on Sunday evening broke through part of Russia's defense of the disputed Kherson region, advancing from the region’s northeast into a territory Russia had claimed to annex as its own on Friday.
It said Russian troops had fallen back to “pre-prepared lines of defense" and were using heavy artillery to halt a further Ukrainian advance. It claimed, without evidence, that Ukraine had suffered heavy losses, but acknowledged that Ukraine had an advantage in tank numbers there. Kirill Stremousov, a Russian-installed official in the region, on social media acknowledged Ukrainian troops had advanced along the Dnipro towards Dudchany but claimed they had been halted by Russian fire and that “everything is under control.”
The battle for Kherson has major military and symbolic significance for both sides. A retreat from the city would seriously undermine Russia's annexation of one of the four Ukrainian regions declared by Vladimir Putin just days ago -- Kherson is supposed to be the capital of the newly annexed region of the same name.
Ukraine's nuclear power provider accused Russia on Saturday of"kidnapping" Murashov, according to the Associated Press.
