After days of fighting, Ukrainian forces have regained control of Makariv, a town 30 miles west of Kiev, the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
"The state flag of Ukraine was raised over the town of Makariv" as the Russians retreated, the post said.
CNN could not confirm the claim by Ukrainian forces.
Makariv had suffered significant damage from ongoing Russian airstrikes. CNN verified the authenticity of photos posted on social media on March 12, which showed extensive damage to apartment complexes, schools and a medical facility.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly maintained that it is not targeting civilians.
