STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - Ukraine's military on Tuesday reported advances and robust defence along the front lines of its 18-month old war with Russia, with Moscow acknowledging"tension" in the southern sector but dismissing Kyiv's campaign as unsuccessful.
Kyiv has retaken several villages in a southward drive towards the Sea of Azov and says it is regaining ground near the eastern city of Bakhmut, seized by Russia in May after months of battles. Yevlash said Ukrainian troops had withstood an onslaught further north near Lyman, a town they retook last year.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu dismissed the offensive as a failure, while admitting that things were far from easy in parts of southeastern Zaporizhzhia region that Moscow controls. Ukrainian analysts said the drive to capture a succession of villages was paying off, but much would depend on pushing on for the next two months before wintry weather takes hold.
