Russian army claims to have captured a village near Donetsk. Russian forces have been advancing for weeks in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky assured that "Russia's advance has been stopped" in the East. Ukraine has committed to building hundreds of kilometers of defensive fortifications to stop the Russian advance, but criticism has emerged that they are weak or even absent in some areas. The Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the capture of the village of Nevelské.
