Russian forces captured another eastern Ukraine village

In a recent development, Russia announced on Sunday that it had successfully taken control of yet another village in south-eastern Ukraine.

The village, strategically located in the Donetsk region, marks another significant advancement in the ongoing conflict, which has entered its third year.

In 2023, Ukraine managed to reclaim the village as part of its offensive, marking a significant victory.

Since the failed Ukrainian counter-offensive, Russia has been steadily gaining territory in eastern Ukraine.

In May, Russian troops launched an offensive in the north-east Kharkiv region.

However, their progress was effectively halted as Ukraine swiftly deployed reinforcements, demonstrating their strategic response to threats.

In a recent statement, President Vladimir Putin expressed his willingness to engage in discussions regarding peace terms.

However, he emphasized the condition that Ukrainian forces must completely withdraw from the four regions in eastern and southern Ukraine.

These regions, which Russia claims to have annexed but only partially occupied, remain a contention between the two nations. Kyiv and its Western backers have resolutely rejected these demands.
