The arrival of Ukraine’s military in the regional capital Friday comes after Russia withdrew from the region west of the Dnipro River, marking one of the biggest military setbacks for the Kremlin since the war began.

Citizens have also flooded the city’s central square, waving and raising Ukrainian flags, in other images geolocated by CNN.
