The Russian defence ministry on Sunday has claimed that its troops had besieged the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson and the city of Berdyansk in the southeast.

“Over the past 24 hours, the cities of Kherson and Berdyansk have been completely blocked by the Russian armed forces,” defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.

defence ministry spokesman added that Russian troops had also taken control of Genichesk, a port city along the Sea of Azov, and an airfield near Kherson.

As of Sunday, the Russian army said it had destroyed 975 military facilities in Ukraine and shot down eight fighter jets, seven helicopters, and 11 drones.

Konashenkov also claimed that Ukrainian servicemen were laying down arms “en masse.”
