Russian troops have reportedly taken control of the village of Roskoshnoe, located in the Donetsk People’s Republic, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The announcement, made on Thursday, marks another territorial gain for Russian forces in the region. No details were provided regarding the circumstances of the capture or any potential resistance encountered. This claim comes amidst ongoing fighting in eastern Ukraine, particularly within the Donetsk region. The Donetsk People’s Republic is a self-proclaimed, Russian-backed separatist state. Independent verification of the Russian Defense Ministry’s statement is currently unavailable. The capture of Roskoshnoe represents a small but potentially strategic advance for Russian forces in the area.
