The Ukrainian military says it recaptured strategic gas and oil drilling platforms from Russia in the Black Sea
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, left, and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba attend joint news conference following their talks in Kyiv, Ukraine, Monday, Sept. 11, 2022.
Ukraine's reported battlefront gains, which could not be independently confirmed, came as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was on a train headed for Russia for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting announced by the two leaders' countries could include discussions of North Korea providing arms to restock Russia’s dwindling arsenal.
“With enormous courage and determination, Ukraine is also defending the freedom of all of us,” Baerbock said in a statement released by her ministry. “In the same way that Ukraine stands up for us, it can also count on us.” In fighting, Ukrainian forces liberated part of the Donetsk province town of Optyne and advanced on the towns of Klishchiivka and Andriivka south of Bakhmut, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said.
The retaking of the Black Sea platforms follows the U.K. Ministry of Defense reporting naval and air force skirmishes at sea two weeks ago.
