Ukraine recaptures Vovchansk factory used by Russian troops as a ‘fortress’
Ukrainian forces have liberated the main factory in the town of Vovchansk, four months after its capture in a surprise Russian attack.
Video filmed on soldiers’ helmet cameras showed vicious room-to-room fighting for control of the massive plant that used to make construction supplies.
The recapture of the factory is a rare military victory for Ukrainian forces fighting inside Ukraine, where Russian has been grinding forward all year.
