Zelenskyy says Ukraine retook 3 settlements from Russia, part of a broader counteroffensive meant to
reverse Putin's grinding advance
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Ukrainian forces had retaken three settlements in eastern and southern parts of the country amid a wider counter-offensive.
Zelenskyy, speaking on his Telegram channel, did not specify the locations of the reported gains. One was a settlement in the eastern region of Donetsk, he said, adding that two further settlements "in the south of our country" were also liberated.
The Ukrainian military also reported artillery and air strikes on more than a dozen targets in the southern region of Kherson on Sunday, according to CNN.
President Vladimir Putin's forces have overtaken territory in eastern and southern Ukraine since the invasion began in February. Ukrainian troops began a widescale counter-offensive in the south of the country at the end of August.
