Ukraine sustains Kherson campaign

KYIV, Ukraine: Ukraine said Thursday (Friday in Manila) it had recaptured swathes of fresh territory from Russian troops, as Kyiv urged Europe to help its forces expel Moscow's army.

The proclaimed wins in the southern region of Kherson are the latest in a series of Russian defeats undermining the Kremlin's claim to have annexed around 20 percent of Ukraine.
