Bodies Of Russian Soldiers Recaptured By Ukraine

The bodies of Russian soldiers are lying in the streets of a key eastern Ukrainian town following their comrades’ retreat.

Aljazeera reports that the Ukrainian military collected the bodies of their comrades on Tuesday after fierce battles for control of Lyman, but did not immediately remove those of the Russians.

As Russia moved forward with annexing four Ukrainian regions, its troops pulled back from Lyman to avoid being encircled by Ukrainian forces.

The city’s liberation gave Ukraine a key vantage point for pressing its offensive deeper into Russian-held territories.

Also, in other development, the Russian forces launched more missile attacks at Ukrainian cities on Tuesday as Ukrainian forces pressed their counteroffensives in the east and the south.

Several missiles hit Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv, damaging its infrastructure and causing power cuts.

Kharkiv Governor Oleh Syniehubov said one person was killed, and at least In the south, four civilians were injured when Russian missiles hit the city of Nikopol.
