KYIV, Oct 2 —Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy declared the key eastern town of Lyman “fully cleared” of Russian forces today, a day after Moscow said its troops had decided to withdraw from their months-long stronghold in the north of Donetsk region.

“As of 1230 (0930 GMT), Lyman is fully cleared,” Zelenskiy said in a short video clip on his Telegram channel. — Reuters
