Russian forces abandoned the strategic Black Sea outpost of Snake Island on Thursday, in a major victory for Ukraine that could loosen a Russian grain export blockade threatening to worsen global food supply.
Ukraine said it had driven Russian troops out after massive artillery and assault overnight that destroyed equipment.
Meanwhile, Russia says they had decided to withdraw from the outpost as a "gesture of goodwill" that showed Moscow was not obstructing UN efforts to open a humanitarian corridor allowing grains to be shipped from Ukraine's ports.
