Ukrainian forces have been successful in pushing back the Russians in the southern battle zone between occupied Kherson and the city of Mykolajiv, which is still in Ukrainian hands.
Mykolajiv is a strategic jackpot for the Russians as it could open up the way to the crucial port of Odesa, where my crew and I are staying at the moment.
The Russians attacked Mykolajiv from the very first start, but they were met with fierce resistance. Ukrainians have pushed back the line so much now that great parts of the city are out the artillery reach from the Russians.
This gave us a chance to visit Mykolajiv where we went to the children's hospital and also visited some of the liberated towns and villages around Mykolajiv.
This is our report for NOS. The great camera & editing job is from Jaap van Willigen.
