Ukraine: Military has retaken over 400 sq km of territory

The Ukrainian military announced that it has retaken over 400 square kilometers of territory along the southern border since late January. The recovery includes eight villages. However, it is not specified how much of this territory was under Russian control before the recapture and how much constituted a “grey zone” with no clear control by either side. This announcement marks a continued Ukrainian effort to reclaim territories occupied by Russia.
