Russia says captured Kharkiv region village in westward push
Russia said Wednesday that it had taken control of a new village in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region in a westward push.
The defense ministry said in a statement that its forces had taken the village of Zapadne on the western bank of the Oskil River, which for a long time formed the front line between the armies, as Russian troops advance rapidly in eastern Ukraine.
