Ukraine said Tuesday that its forces had repelled a Russian effort to cross the Oskil river, which has long been a de facto front line across the east of the war-scarred country.
"As a result of the successful operation, the enemy was destroyed. The right bank of the Oskil river is under the control of the Defence Forces," the Ukrainian military said in a statement.
