Appears that Ukrainian forces are back in control of Sviatohirsk. Images shared online show the Ukrainian flag at the city council building and soldiers in the city across the river from the Sviatohirsk Lavra.
There are also photos/videos from Bohorodychne nearby. This video shows what's left of the city's monastery buildings, one of which was destroyed on May 17 by an apparent Russian cruise missile strike.
