The Russian authorities reported this Monday the conquest of three more localities located in different provinces of Ukraine, in the context of the invasion initiated in February 2022 by order of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has stated on social media that its troops have taken "Dolinka, Pershe Travnia and Kucherov," located in Zaporiyia, Sumi, and Donetsk, respectively, without providing data on possible casualties recorded during the clashes.
In recent months, Moscow has been communicating territorial advances in eastern Ukraine, with special emphasis on Donetsk, a province that —along with Lugansk, both integrated into the Donbas region— had already been the scene of a conflict since 2014 between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government forces.
