Russia claims two more Ukrainian villages
Russia has taken two more eastern Ukrainian villages, its defence ministry has just claimed.
RIA state news agency reports the ministry has said its forces have seized Ivanivka in the Donetsk region and Zahryzove in the Kharkiv region.
They also cited the ministry as saying it had downed four British-made Storm Shadow missiles in the past week.
None of these claims have been independently verified.
Elsewhere along the front line, the Institute for the Study of War said in an update overnight that Russia has likely advanced to the boundaries of Kurakhove, a city in the Pokrovsk region.
