It's 11 p.m. on Sunday night in Kyiv. Here's what you need to know

Russian forces retreated from Lyman, a strategic city in Donetsk for its operations in the east, the Russian defense ministry said Saturday, just a day after Moscow’s annexation of four regions — including Donetsk -- that’s been declared illegal by the West.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the key city was "completely liberated."

The retreat marks Ukraine’s most significant gain since its successful counteroffensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region last month.
