Russia claimed on Thursday that its forces captured a settlement in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region.
The country’s Defense Ministry claimed in a statement that its forces took control of the village of Sheviakivka, situated about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the Russia-Ukraine border in the region's Kupiansk district.
Ukrainian authorities have not immediately commented on the claim, and independent verification of Russia’s claim is difficult due to the ongoing war.
