Ukraine forces liberate Kherson region settlements - Zelenskiy

STORY: "The story of the liberation of Lyman in the Donetsk region has now become the most popular in the media," Zelenskiy said in his nightly address. "But the successes of our soldiers are not limited to Lyman," he added.

Zelenskiy said that Ukraine's forces have liberated the small settlements of Arkhanhelske and Myrolyubivka in the Kherson region. Zelenskiy mentioned the two settlements when thanking in his nightly address specific units of Ukrainian forces for distinguishing themselves on the frontline.

Reuters was not able to immediately verify the reports.

He also said that the abduction of the director-general of Ukraine's Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is an act of Russian terror.

A Russian patrol detained Ihor Murashov on Friday (September 30), the state-owned company in charge of the plant said on Saturday (October 1), and the International Atomic Energy Agency said Russia had confirmed the move.
