Ukraine troops sweep ahead after Russian collapse in northeast
- Ukrainian forces swept further across territory seized from fleeing Russian troops today, as Moscow grappled with the consequences of the collapse of its occupation force in northeastern Ukraine.
- Ukraine's general staff said early on Monday that its forces had recaptured more than 20 towns and villages in just the past day, after Russia acknowledged it was abandoning Izium, its main stronghold in northeastern Ukraine.
- "Taking them under full control and stabilization measures are being carried out," the general staff said of the newly re-captured settlements.
- As thousands of Russian troops abandoned their positions, leaving behind huge stocks of ammunition and equipment, Russia fired missiles at power stations on Sunday causing blackouts in the Kharkiv and adjacent Poltava and Sumy regions.

- The regional governor said power had been restored by 80 per cent. Moscow, which denies deliberately striking civilian targets, did not comment.
Britain's ministry of defence said Russia had probably ordered its forces to withdraw from all of Kharkiv region west of the Oskil River, abandoning the main supply route that had sustained Russia's operations in the east. (Reuters)
