Russia says seized village in east Ukraine's Donetsk region
Russia said Monday it captured the village of Novomykhailivka in eastern Ukraine, while Ukrainian officials warned the situation on the front lines is likely to deteriorate in coming weeks.
Russia's defense ministry said "units of the southern grouping of troops have completely liberated the settlement of Novomykhailivka," some 20 kilometres (12 miles) away from Vugledar that Russian forces have been trying to seize.
