Ukrainian forces has finally captured Staromaiorske after a month of hard battle. The ejection of the Russian forces is announced by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and corroborated by both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian sources.
However, based on available information, Ukrainian forces withdrew back to the outskirt of the village after taking videos and photos of their capture due to the lack of cover and possible fear of Russia's counterattacks, that had previously devastated Ukrainian troops in the multiple false capture of Makarivka (just north of this settlement).
Ukraine also could not fully capture the village without Urozhaine, which is still under full control of the Russian forces on the opposite shores of the Mokri Yaly River. This means, the battle at Staromaiorske will continue until more progress is made at Urozhaine by the Ukrainian forces.

Bangladesh PM, Sheikh Hasina Wazed, resigns and flees country as her residence is stormed by protestors. While the rest of the country went into the streets to celebrate~
Footages by "Red" from DPA Open Mic
"Red" said that the Army head said that a new government will be formed.
DPA Note: I wonder if this would become some sort of inspiration/example for some of the other countries in the world to go through bloody protests (hundreds, some say thousands, died in the past month of anarchy) to overthrow their authoritarian regimes/dictators.
