Russian forces abandoned the strategic Black Sea outpost of Snake Island on Thursday in a victory for Ukraine.
In contrast, however, a Ukrainian official in the heavily fought eastern province of Luhansk described difficulties for Ukrainian forces in the city of Lysychansk on Thursday.
In his nightly video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on both Snake Island and the Donbas region, which comprises Donetsk and Luhansk provinces on the border with Russia.
