Russia claims to have captured 2 more Ukraine settlements; no Kyiv response

Moscow has been grinding forward on the front line for over a year, pressing its advantage against overstretched and outmanned Ukrainian troops.

On Sunday, Russia said it had captured the village of Piddubne in Donetsk and Sobolivka in Kharkiv.

Piddubne was home to around 500 people before the conflict and lies just seven kilometers (four miles) from the border of Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region.
