The Russian Ministry of National Defence reported in its latest update that they have allegedly captured the villages of Roziwka in the Luhansk region and Piszczane Niżne in the Kharkiv region. They were also said to have repelled several Ukrainian attacks. The Ukrainian authorities have not yet responded to these reports.
Reuters Agency reported that the Russian Ministry of Defence, in its latest update, announced the alleged occupation of the villages of Roziwka in the Luhansk region and Piszczane Niżne in the Kharkiv region.
Furthermore, the Russians boast of taking more advantageous positions on the frontline. The Russian Ministry of Defence reported that "casualties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to up to 330 military personnel."
The pro-Kremlin agency Tass reported that within 24 hours, Russian forces defeated five Ukrainian brigades and repelled seven counterattacks by assault groups. It was also reported that in the last 24 hours, units of the Russian Eastern Military Group improved their tactical position and defeated personnel and destroyed equipment of five Ukrainian brigades.
Ukraine has not responded to the information provided by the Russians
Recently, it was also reported that the village of Krynki, located in the Kherson region, came under Russian control. The occupiers shelled Ukrainian positions, causing the soldiers to withdraw and leading to significant damage. Experts indicated that casualties on the Ukrainian side could have amounted to even a thousand people.
The Russians took Krynki on the first day of the invasion, February 24, 2022. However, in October 2023, Ukrainian forces gained a foothold in Krynki. Since then, Russia has been constantly trying to push Ukrainian soldiers out of there.
Meanwhile, the propaganda outlet RIA Novosti, also citing reports from the Ministry of Defence, reported that the capture of the two towns was carried out by units of the "Zapad" military group.
At this moment, Ukraine has not responded to the reports provided by the Russian Ministry of Defence.
