Ukraine Leader Says Troops Retook Russia Border Crossing
Ukraine's new leader congratulated his troops on Tuesday with the "first victory" in their resumed campaign against separatist insurgents, announcing they had regained control of one Russian border crossing.
President Petro Poroshenko's office said government forces had seized back the Dovzgansky crossing in Lugansk -- one of 24 in the separatist province, most of which are under rebel control.
