This is the best summary I could come up with:
KYIV, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday his forces had recaptured an eastern village on the southern flank of Bakhmut, the city that fell into Russian hands in May after months of heavy fighting.
Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar shared a video of Ukrainian forces displaying flags including the blue and yellow national flag with ruined buildings and the sound of ongoing fighting in the background.
Russia was still trying to regain lost positions despite the village’s liberation, she wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, also confirmed the recapture of the village, which Russia claimed control of in January, had a pre-war population of around 400, and is around six miles (nine km) south of Bakhmut.
“So, now we have gained a base that will allow us to continue to develop offensive actions and liberate our land from the invaders,” he wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
For several months now, Ukrainian forces have been conducting offensives north and south of the city in order to dislodge Russian units from it.
