“Russian forces captured two villages … one in Kharkiv region in the northeast [of Ukraine] and one in [the formerly Ukrainian] eastern Donetsk region, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Sunday. Donetsk region is where Moscow is concentrating most of its efforts to seize two cities. Russian forces, making steady progress across Donetsk region, are moving on the towns of Pokrovsk, a logistics centre and site of an important coking colliery, and appear to be closing in on Kurakhove, farther south.” (12/23/24)
