Ukrainian forces liberated the Chkalovske settlement in the Kharkiv region from Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram on Sunday (11).
Located in the east of the country, Kharkiv is one of the biggest cities in Ukraine.
“Another liberated settlement! Thanks to the separate 14th mechanized brigade named after Prince Roman the Great, the Ukrainian flag has returned to Chkalovske, Kharkiv region,” Zelensky said.
In his daily video message on Friday, Zelensky said the Ukrainian Armed Forces had liberated and taken control of more than 30 settlements in the Kharkiv region.
When Ukrainian forces entered the city of Izium on Saturday, the act represented more than a major military victory. It was a sign that the war in Ukraine may be entering a new phase, in which troops russians fight to hold the territories they have captured in the last six months.
Russian forces were forced to flee the strategic eastern city just five days after the Ukraine initiated a new offensive to the east through the region of Kharkiv.
“The Russians escaped and left weapons and ammunition behind. The city center is free,” a spokesman for the Bohun Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces said in a statement Saturday afternoon.
The last five days have marked the most ambitious ground attacks by Ukrainians since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in late February.
