In a video posted on social networks, president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky says that key Ukraine town Lyman "is completely cleared" of Russian troops.
US authorities estimate that 20 thousand Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine over the past five months. The assesment comes as Kiyv gears up to launch its spring counter-offensive. The US intelligence community hasn't detailed how it derived the figure, but says the battle for Bakhmut in the east has seen the highest number of casualties and is in line with some of the fiercest periods of fighting during World War II. FRANCE 24's Yinka Oyetade tells us more.
Both sides of the Ukraine war are tight-lipped about how many casualties they have suffered since the fighting began.
A video released by the Kremlin early Tuesday showed Putin visiting the command post for Russian forces in the southern Kherson region, and receiving reports from the top military brass.
10 kilometres from Bakhmut on Ukraine's frontline, almost all residential areas in Chasiv Yar have been left for ruin. However, some locals have stayed.
