Ukraine flag flies on building after village of Robotyne captured from Russia
- 10 months ago
Soldiers have captured the Russian-occupied village of Robotyne and placed a Ukrainian flag on a bombed-out building.
Robotyne was captured by Ukrainian troops last week as part of the military's ongoing counter-offensive against Russia.
Ukraine's military said that this successful operation was the breakthrough needed to push deeper into Russian-held Ukrainian territory.
Robotyne is six miles south of the front line of the war and marks the furthest push yet towards the Sea of Azov, a point in which Russian-held territory would be split into two.
Russia had held Robotyne since the early days of the invasion in 2022.
