A Ukrainian infantry brigade said on Monday that Ukrainian forces recaptured the village of Ivanivka in the Russian-occupied Kherson region in the south of the country.

“All that remains of the Russian invaders in Ivanivka are terrible memories and ‘dead’ military equipment,” the brigade said.

Reuters could not immediately confirm the claim. There is more than one village of Ivanivka in the region. One of them is on the front line of the war.
