Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday said Kyiv’s forces had achieved “significant results” in the east of the country and mentioned the Russian-occupied stronghold of Lyman, but without giving details.
Zelensky made the remarks in a video address. Ukraine’s defense ministry said earlier its troops had captured a village near Lyman, in the eastern Donetsk region.
