Some prominent Russian military bloggers indicated that while Ukrainian forces took Blahodatne and Neskuchne, fighting for Makarivka was going on. The Institute for the Study of War reported that Ukraine said earlier on Monday that Kyiv had reclaimed five towns and villages. Ukraine says its troops have taken back four villages from Russian forces in the south-east after hitting back to try to recapture occupied territory. A 50-year-old woman was injured as a result of shelling by the Russian military in the village of Novoselivka , in Zaporizhzhia region. Three civilians were killed Sunday and 10 others wounded after Russian forces opened fire on a boat carrying flood evacuees to the Ukrainian-controlled city of Kherson.
