 Ukraine said on June 26 that its forces had regained control of the southeastern village of Rybnypil as they continued to advance against Russian forces after launching a counter-offensive. The village appeared to be the ninth recaptured by Ukraine this month in the early stages of an offensive in which Ukrainian officials have signaled that the main push is yet to come. An unverified 13-second video posted on Telegram by Ukrainian land forces, showing a group of Ukrainian soldiers in front of the remains of a building with a Ukrainian flag flying from a post, indicated the village was retaken on Sunday. Today, on June 25, 2023, the fighters of the second battalion of the 31st Mechanized Brigade liberated the village of Rybnypil, one of the soldiers in the video said. Using a derogatory term for Russian soldiers, he said, the orcs are fleeing, we are moving ahead. Deputy Defense Minister Hannah Malier earlier on June 26 wrote on the Telegram messaging app, defense forces have brought Rybnypil back under our control.
