Ukraine's armed forces Friday said the village of Andriivka near the key frontline town of Bakhmut had been "liberated," a day after claims it had been retaken were dubbed premature.
On Thursday, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar backtracked on an announcement that Kyiv had wrested control of the eastern village from Russian forces, after Ukrainian troops on the ground said fighting was still ongoing.
But Ukraine's General Staff said Friday that the village was back under Ukrainian control.
