Russia Says It Seized Control of Three Ukrainian Villages


(MENAFN) Russian military officials announced Monday the seizure of three settlements spanning southern and eastern Ukraine, marking Moscow's latest territorial assertions amid intense fighting across multiple sectors.

Russian troops have captured the villages of Sladkoe and Novoye in the Zaporizhzhia region and Gnatovka in Donetsk, the Defense Ministry claimed on Monday.

According to the ministry, units of the "East" military group advanced deeper into Ukrainian defensive lines, securing control over Sladkoe and Novoye in southern Ukraine.

It added that during operations to eliminate encircled Ukrainian forces near Krasnoarmeysk in Donetsk, troops from the 1435th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 2nd Army took control of Gnatovka.

Ukrainian authorities have not issued an immediate response to Moscow's territorial claims, while independent battlefield verification remains severely constrained due to active combat conditions and restricted media access across frontline zones.
