The retaliatory fire came as Ukraine said its forces had recaptured more than 20 additional settlements, claiming “Russian troops are hastily abandoning their positions and fleeing.” Moscow yesterday announced air, rocket and artillery attacks on reclaimed areas in the Kharkiv region, a day after Kyiv said Russian strikes on electricity infrastructure caused power failures.
