This could be the biggest battlefield success for Ukrainian forces since they thwarted a Russian attempt to seize the capital at the start of the war.
Video from a de-occupied Ukrainian village shows the damage left behind by six months of fighting after Russia's invasion.
A damaged church is seen in Grakove village after the Ukrainian forces took control of the village in Kharkiv, Ukraine on September 09, 2022. Earlier Saturday, the British Defense Ministry told reporters it believed the Ukrainians had advanced as much as 50 kilometers south of Kharkiv, and described Russian forces around Izyum as "increasingly isolated."
The same report said Ukrainian forces "may collapse Russian positions around Izyum if they sever Russian ground lines of communication" north and south of the town. "It will be like an avalanche," he said, predicting a Russian fallback. "One line of defense will shake and it will fall." "We are gradually taking control over more settlements, returning the Ukrainian flag and protection for our people," Zelenskyy said.
