Soldiers from Ukraine's 31st Separate Mechanised Brigade pose with their national flag in front of a ruined cottage in a video posted on Facebook, claiming to have recaptured the village of Rivnopil. Kyiv launched a counter-offensive this month against the Russian troops occupying around a fifth of its territory in the south and east of the country.

All the latest developments from the war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian military officials said Monday their troops have retaken another village from Russian forces, bringing the total to five since Kyiv stepped up a counteroffensive in recent days, France 24's correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports from Zaporizhzhia.
Although Russia claims it has won control of Ukraine's eastern city of Bakhmut, after a grinding nine-month conflict in which tens of thousands of fighters have died, top Ukrainian military leaders say the battle is not over.
A number of London police have stepped back from firearms duties after a fellow officer was charged with murder over the fatal shooting of a young black man, a force spokesman said Sunday. Police in Britain are not routinely armed and the small proportion who are authorised to carry guns are highly trained.
