(Bloomberg) — French President Emmanuel Macron was due to host German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish President Andrzej Duda for talks on supporting Ukraine late Monday. Kyiv meanwhile seized back more eastern villages in a counteroffensive to recover Russian-occupied territory, according to the Ukrainian military and local media including Suspilne TV.Â
While Moscow hasn’t officially commented, Russian military bloggers acknowledged that Ukrainian forces had taken control of Storozhove in the eastern Donetsk region and Novodarivka in the Zaporizhzhia region, and said there were clashes on the outskirts of Makarivka. Bloomberg can’t independently verify the claims.Â
The flooding caused by last week’s explosion at the Kakhovka dam on the Dnipro River has so far killed 10 people in the Kherson and Mykolayiv regions — and 42 people are still missing including seven children, Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on national television.
