Officials say Ukraine has regained almost full control of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Ukraine says it has regained almost complete control of its eastern Dnipropetrovsk region and recaptured several hundred square kilometers of territory in recent counterattacks.
Pushing Russian forces back undermines Moscow's attempts to establish buffer zones along parts of the border, and could disrupt Russian plans for fresh attacks in the spring and summer.
Details of the operation emerged Tuesday when Oleksandr Komarenko, head of the main operational directorate of the general staff of Ukraine's armed forces, told local media that Ukrainian airborne assault troops and mechanized brigades had already liberated more than 400 square kilometers of territory.
