Entire Kyiv region retaken from Russian forces, says Ukrainian official
ISTANBUL (AA) – Ukraine has managed to take back the entire Kyiv region from Russian forces, the country’s Defense Ministry has claimed.
“Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel, and the entire Kyiv region have been liberated from the invaders (Russia),” wrote Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar on Facebook, according to state news agency Ukrinform.
The agency reported that Ukrainian troops had retaken more than 30 settlements from Russian forces over the last day.
Russia’s war against Ukraine, which started on Feb. 24, has been met with international outrage, with the EU, the US, and Britain implementing tough financial sanctions on Moscow.
At least 1,325 civilians have been killed in Ukraine and 2,017 injured, according to UN estimates, with the true figure feared to be far higher.
More than 4.1 million Ukrainians have fled to other countries, with millions more internally displaced, according to the UN refugee agency.
