Ukraine recaptures village from Russian forces.
Ukraine has retaken the village of Rivnopil from Russian forces, according to Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar. The village is the ninth to be recaptured by Ukraine this month, though it was deserted and heavily damaged. The Tavria military sector has advanced by almost a mile towards the city of Melitopol in the Zaporizhzhia region. Russia, which launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, still holds swathes of territory in the east and south.
