recapturing a key eastern town from russia. the ukrainian military says it struck several russian command posts and ammunition depos moscow's defense. ministry is also claiming to have destroyed ukrainian weapons. depos, president zalinski says la man in the east and done yet screeching has been quote, fully cleared of russian troops who retreated from the town on saturday. a video shared by ukrainian police appears to show their forces tearing down russian flags . indeed have been correspondent connelly joins me now from the ukrainian capital. keith hi neck. and can you tell us how significant the recapture of lemon is for the ukranian counter offensive? this is crucial for 2 reasons. firstly, this is all about logistics and the most location. this is an important railway hub for supplies. the russians up to

a few weeks ago were using it to supply their garrisons in don't boss for the south and east. so this really helps the ukrainians to kind of cutoff 1st and supply lines. it's already been really tested by the use of those american rocket, outsourced and high mazda allowed ukraine to really stop the russian forces of ammunition and of the supplies. but also this is about symbolism right? just 2 days ago, you had a lot of pushing the kremlin crowing about the fact that these regions would now be part of russia forever. that russia was there to stay. and here ukraine is proving that, that is not something that related fusion can guarantee to anyone least roy would self. and this is, you know, all this is holden, exclusions is all and now russia claims for itself has annexed. and this is something that oversee the government here and key was volumes. lensky really needs to prove also to ukraine's western allies that ukraine is on a role ukraine is capable of pushing back the source in time, but it is worth investing financial and also political capital in ukraine in the success. so what do we know. 6 about russia's military strategy right now,
