Ukraine said on Saturday its forces had seized back all areas around Kyiv, claiming complete control of the capital region for the first time since Russia launched the invasion.
Since sending troops on Feb. 24 in what it calls a “special operation” to demilitarise its neighbour, Russia has failed to capture a single major city and has instead laid siege to urban areas, uprooting a quarter of Ukraine's population.
Ukraine's emergencies service said over 1,500 explosives had been found in one day during a search of the village of Dmytrivka, west of Kyiv. Both sides described talks held this week in Istanbul and by video link as “difficult”. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday the “main thing is that the talks continue, either in Istanbul or somewhere else”.
His body was found in a village north of Kyiv on April 1, the news website LB.ua where he worked said on Saturday.
