(MENAFN) On Monday, Russia announced it has seized control of a settlement in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region. According to a Defense Ministry statement, Russian forces took the village of Fedorivka, situated roughly 14 kilometers (8.6 miles) northeast of the strategic city of Pokrovsk, a focal point of fierce clashes in Donetsk.

The statement used the village’s former name, Lunacharske, which was officially renamed Fedorivka by Kyiv in 2016.

Moscow has frequently reported territorial advances in recent months, especially in Donetsk, where combat has escalated significantly around the vital logistics hub of Pokrovsk.

In response, Ukraine’s General Staff stated its troops successfully repelled 42 Russian attacks near 14 settlements along the Pokrovsk front, including the area around Fedorivka.
