The sound of artillery boomed in the distance.Andrew had just moved to a new position near a liberated village after the Russian military was recently pushed back dozens of kilometres south and southeast, toward the Dnipro River.
Russian officials say thousands of troops are regrouping further to the south in Kherson and that the Ukrainian advance has stopped.
