Russia says captured another village in east Ukraine

MOSCOW, May 25: Russia said on Saturday it had captured another village in Ukraines eastern Donetsk region, while Kyiv said Moscow was intensifying attacks away from the northeastern Kharkiv region.

The Russian defence ministry said that troops had "taken control of the village of Arkhangelske", located to the north of the city of Donetsk.

The small frontline village is near the town of Ocheretyne, which Russia said it had captured early this month.
