This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Ukrainian president says his forces have recaptured the tactically important village of Klishchiivka on the southern flank of the key frontline city of Bakhmut.
Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, also confirmed the recapture of the village, which Russia claimed control of in January.
Battlefield victories are especially important for Ukraine as Zelensky prepares his second wartime visit to Washington this week in a bid to rally international support.
The US’s highest-ranking military officer said on Sunday that Ukraine’s broader goal of ousting Russian forces from its territory faced a “very high bar”.
Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, warned: “It’ll take a considerable length of time to militarily eject all 200,000 or plus Russian troops out of Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Kyiv began pushing back against Moscow’s forces in the south and east of the country in June after building up Western weapons and recruiting assault battalions.
