A town in the Donetsk region of Ukraine crucial to Russia's war plans has been liberated and is now under full Ukrainian control, president Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Russia on Saturday pulled its troops out of Lyman, which had a pre-war population of around 20,000, because Kyiv's forces had closed in and threatened to encircle them amid ongoing counter-offensives in the north and east of the country.
