Russian forces are also reported to have withdrawn from Hostomel airport near the capital, which has been subject to fighting since the first day of the conflict, Britain’s Ministry of Defence said in a regular bulletin. Poltava city is the capital of the Poltava region, east of Kyiv, and Kremenchuk one of the area’s major cities.
