NOVODRUZHESK: Russian troops on Monday captured the east Ukraine town of Kreminna, local authorities said, as Kyiv's armed forces launched salvos on Russian forces in the nearby settlement of Rubizhne.

"There was a major attack in the night" from Sunday to Monday in Kreminna, the Lugansk regional governor Sergiy Gaiday said in a statement on social media.

"The Russian army has already entered there, with a huge amount of military hardware ... Our defenders have retreated to new positions," he added.

Kreminna, with a pre-war population of nearly 20,000 people is around 50 kilometres (31 miles) northeast of Kramatorsk, the region's administrative centre, and is a strategic target for invading Russian forces.

Ukraine says Russia wants to ‘destroy’ Donbas as Mariupol prepares final defence

Rubizhne, which is under control from Russian forces, was under intense fire from Ukrainian artillery and mortars, AFP journalists reported.

Powerful explosions could be seen in Rubizhne, sometimes followed by fires and plumes of white or black smoke.

Russian forces have stepped up their offensive to capture the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine having pulled back troops deployed around the capital Kyiv at the beginning of the invasion in late February.

It is a tight race,to the 9th of May,2022 Putin has only 21 days NATO will try to inflict another blow,like the ship sinking - close to the 9th So NATO arms and MIG supplies,are a possibility,before the 9th of May,2022 - which are key.for the Donbass defense Alternatively,EU may approve UKR into the EU,on the 9th of May,2022 - and thus, de facto NATO membership.dindooohindoo And then,if Putin realises that a WIN,before the 9th of May,is not possible - then a Tactical Nuke or Chemical attack, is a certainty - and also,to send a message,to FiNLAND AND SWEDEN..Finland is living in its fantasy, of their wins, over the Soviet Armyin WW2. And Putin wants to bring, "Alice back from Wonderland"
