Ukraine's advance
It came as Ukraine continued its counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region, as well as offensive operations in the southern Kherson region.
The Ukrainian army said it had regained control over 3,000 square kilometres of land since the start of September, according to news outlets.
This reportedly includes 20 villages retaken in the north east over the past 24 hours, as well as some 500 square kilometres in the Kherson oblast, British broadcaster the BBC reported.
