The Russian military on Tuesday said it had recaptured territory in the eastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine, the first gains in that place since Moscow's forces were pushed back in a sweeping counter-offensive.

"Units of the Russian army during offensive operations captured the village of Gorobiivka in the Kharkiv region," the defense ministry said, claiming to have inflicted a "significant defeat" on Ukrainian troops in the village.
