MOSCOW: Moscow said on Saturday it had seized two more villages in eastern Ukraine, while Kyiv officials said Russian strikes had killed one person and wounded 19.
The Russian defence ministry said its forces had captured Sudne and Burlatske in the south of the eastern Donetsk region.
They lie near the town of Velyka Novosilka, which was seized by the Russian army at the end of January.
