KYIV - Ukraine said on Monday its troops had liberated the south-eastern settlement of Robotyne and were trying to push further south in their counter-offensive against Russian forces.
“Robotyne has been liberated,” Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar was quoted as saying by the military. Ms Maliar told Ukrainian television that Kyiv’s troops, who began their counter-offensive in early June, were now moving south-east of Robotyne and south of nearby Mala Tokmachka. Ms Maliar described the battlefield situation in the east as “very hot” in the past week. She said Russian troops were gathering new forces there and regrouping, and Moscow was aiming to deploy its best troops there.
