They also took control of Chernobil in the north while Chernihiv was also under attack. The eastern cities Kharkiv, Sumy and Mariupol were encircled.

By June 15, the Ukrainian army recaptured the regions around Kyiv and Sumy and its surroundings in the north.

In addition to major cities such as Izium, Balakliya and Kupyansk, the Kyiv administration in Kyiv regained control of more than 300 settlements.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his forces have recaptured 6,000 square kilometers (2,320 square miles) this month, urging the West to impose more sanctions on Moscow and speed up deliveries of weapons systems.

It should be noted that meanwhile, Russia currently has the Donbas region, the coast of the Azov Sea and Kherson under its control.
