Kyiv March 4 2022: Russian troops have been driven out of the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, Ukrainian government official Andriy Yakobchuk says.
“But fighting is continuing in the suburbs,” he adds.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Land Forces posted footage purportedly showing its retaking the city airport and a raised Ukrainian flag.
The claims have not been independently verified.
Reports earlier on Friday said Russian troops had entered the strategically-located city with the population of about 500,000.
