Zelenskiy says Ukrainian forces recapture Andriivka village in Sumy region

June 14 (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday that Ukrainian forces had recaptured Andriivka village in northeastern Sumy region as part of a drive to expel Russian forces from the area.

"Based on recent developments, our special thanks go to the soldiers of the 225th Separate Assault Regiment -- for offensive operations in the Sumy region and the liberation, in particular, of Andriivka," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.

Zelenskiy also noted "successful actions" near Pokrovsk, for months a focus of Russian attacks on the eastern front, and "strong results" near Kupiansk, an area in northeastern Ukraine that has come under heavy Russian pressure.
