There are two types of settlements: rural and urban. Rural populated areas (сільський населений пункт) can be either a village (село, selo) or a rural settlement (селище). Urban populated areas (міський населений пункт) can be either a city (містo) or an urbanized settlement (селище міського типу). For the sake of brevity, urbanized settlements are often classified as towns in the English language.
Changes to a settlement’s status can be made only by the Verkhovna Rada. Please note that the size of a settlement does not ultimately define its status, although is a major factor. For example, the city of Prypiat still retains its status, while having a population of zero, due to its infrastructure, including buildings, roads, and utility networks.
The typical Ukrainian misto ought to be considered a city, not a town (compare to City status in the United Kingdom). However, the city’s subordination to either an oblast or raion also should be taken into account, especially in the political sense. Some of urbanized settlements may be cities of raion subordination, although it could seem confusing, a type of settlement should be considered first as its status is given for administrative purposes.

Immense Joy to get a reply from a Bot.
“Goose. Meet Gander”.😂
Thanks for rounding out the info here. The Zeepers and zeeperette only post propaganda that has one side.
Your really don’t have a clue on how combat works, do you? Do you really expect anyone to believe that the Russians would have pulled back their lines if they weren’t being pushed by the Ukrainians?
All warfare is based on deception.
Strategic deception aims to manipulate elite perceptions in order to gain competitive advantage.
Were there any Russians in these villages to start with?
Probably means they liberated people out of their own homes.
You could be on to something there. I guess that explains Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow. Thank you for your insight.

One or the other will generally leave the battle field - then each side calls it in however it will make them save face......however Ukrainians take it way beyond the scope. Heck for them even taking out one Russian tank is made to sound like they took out a battalion by the time they’ve built their story.
Yes
Armies often give up ground for reasons beyond defeat
Not enough troop to defend it
Or it’s not worth it
I don’t know and neither do u
I do know Kherson since initial ukrop push and advances seems stuck
And Bakhmut which matters a lot is about lost to Ukraine now and not a peep from media
You can’t believe anything they say honestly
So you should dig more
Be informed
Even then it’s still relative honestly
stupid headline doesn’t say which army and who else would be doing any liberating? The girl scouts? A troop of Amish dancers?
The headline uses words set at the head of topic to introduce:
