Ukraine said that Russian forces are backtracking in Kherson thanks to Ukraine\u2019s counteroffensive maneuvers which are allowing troops to make gains in the region. Press office of Southern Defense Forces Nataliya Gumenyuk reported this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kakhovka Operational Group of Troops took to Facebook on Monday, August 29 and wrote: \u201cIn the Kherson region, Russian troops have moved away from their positions, paratroopers are fleeing the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to early reports from Ukraine, the country\u2019s defence forces launched a counterattack on the right bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Region overnight and apparently managed to clear several settlements and reach the Kherson direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video online shows a Russian soldier coming under heavy attack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operational headquarters of the Kakhovka military unit officially reports that the counterattack resulted in the 109th regiment of the \u201cpeople\u2019s militia\u201d of the so-called \u201cDPR\u201d being knocked out of the defensive positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news of the apparent breakthrough in the Kherson region comes after former Ukrainian MP Aleksei (Oleksiy) Kovalev (Kovalyov), who defected to Russia to become deputy head of agriculture in the occupied-Kherson government, was found dead on Sunday, August 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differing reports suggest that the 33-year-old was either stabbed or shot. His wife was reportedly stabbed as in intensive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported Augusr 28, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with representatives of the defense and security sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was attended by the heads of the Armed Forces, intelligence agencies, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service of Ukraine and other defense forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants of the meeting, which is classified as “secret,” heard information about the combat situation at the front, discussed other security and defense issues. Separately, they focused on the needs of the Ukrainian army and coordination with Ukraine’s international partners at various levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
