Russia claims capture of village in southern Ukraine: ministry

The Hindu  

Russia on Sunday claimed its troops had captured a village in southern Ukraine, continuing its progress on the front line against a Ukrainian army lacking troops and ammunition. "Units of the Eastern forces have liberated the settlement of Zagrine in the Zaporizhzhia region and occupied more favourable positions," the Russian defence ministry said in its daily report. The Russian army has been gaining ground for months in Ukraine, particularly in the east, without however achieving a real breakthrough. Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week that his troops had conquered nearly 880 square kilometres of land since the start of the year.
