[Resurgence]

Russia’s Defense Ministry says its troops have taken control of Ukraine’s southern region of Kherson as the Russian military campaign enters its 20th day.

“The armed forces of the Russian Federation have taken full control of all the territory of Kherson region,” the ministry’s spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, said at a briefing on Tuesday, without further elaboration.

The city of Kherson, the provincial capital of nearly 250,000 people, was the first key urban center to be captured by Russian troops after Moscow launched a military campaign against Ukraine on February 24.

The spokesman also said that the Russian troops seized 10 American-made Javelin anti-tank missile systems and a number of other weapons provided to Ukraine by Western countries.
