Russia's Defense Ministry said Saturday that its forces have taken control of five settlements in eastern Ukraine, according to N12. The ministry did not specify which settlements or provide additional details.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Russian territorial claims in the region. On July 2, Russian forces captured the village of Psykunivka; on June 7, Russia claimed to have intercepted 500 Ukrainian drones. More recently, on June 21, Ukrainian strikes on Crimea and Krasnodar caused casualties. These reports are based on official statements, often without independent verification.
The current claim comes from a single Russian official source cited by N12. It has not been independently confirmed. Ukraine has not yet responded to the claim.
