Russia said that its forces has taken control of the strategically important logistics hub of Niu-York in eastern Ukraine, the attack is part of Moscow’s grinding drive to capture the entire Donetsk region.
A statement by the Defense Ministry announced that Russian forces captured the settlement of Niu-York and "defeated" a large group of Ukrainian troops, Anadolu news agency reported.
Niu-York is located about 7.2 kilometers (4.4 miles) south of the industrial city of Toretsk, a key front in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
As Ukrainian forces seek to advance in Russia's Kursk region, the Niu-York's fate reflects Moscow's advance in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense had previously announced in a statement that the army forces of this country have taken the control the town of Rozdolivka in the Donetsk region.
