Russia Claims New Village in Ukraine’s Donetsk Region
Russia says it has taken the village of Myrne in Ukraine’s Donetsk region. The village is close to the border between the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Moscow has refused a ceasefire proposed by the United States and Kyiv.
Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has lasted for more than three years, with attacks intensifying this summer and U.S.-led negotiations so far yielding no results to end the fighting.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said Russian troops had captured the village of Myrne, calling the village by its Soviet name, “Karl Marx.”
It lies close to the administrative border between the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
The ministry claimed its forces had moved “deep into the enemy’s defense” to take the village.
Myrne was one of two villages Moscow claimed on Sunday.
Russia has for months refused a ceasefire proposed by the United States and Kyiv.
