“This was the last settlement held by the Russians in Mykolayiv Oblast,” he said.

“Therefore, we can say that Mykolayiv Oblast has completely been liberated.”

Kostenko added that Ukrainian forces are continuing to retake occupied cities and villages in Kherson Oblast.

Snihurivka had been controlled by the Russian invaders since March 2022. To hold the settlement, the Russians deployed significant forces there and dug in to fortify.

Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said on Nov. 10 that the Ukrainian military regained control over 12 settlements in the Kherson area in a single day.
