By The Associated Press
Ukraine’s southern military command says its forces have retaken 400 square kilometers (155 square miles) of territory in the southern Kherson region this month as they continue to push Russian troops back in the south and east. Spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk of the Ukrainian military’s Operational Command South said the situation along the southern front was rapidly changing and remained complicated. Ukraine has recaptured 29 settlements in the region since Oct. 1, according to Oleksii Hromov in the Ukrainian army’s General Staff. Also Thursday, the European Union froze the assets of an additional 37 people and entities tied to Russia’s war in Ukraine, bringing the total of EU blacklist targets to over 1,350.
