Strategic Village Capture Intensifies Eastern Conflict
Russian forces have reportedly captured the small settlement of Zaporizhzhya in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. This village, hosting a pre-war population of about 200, lies near Pokrovsk, a critical eastern transport hub. The report awaits independent verification due to conflicting regional narratives.
Russian troops have captured the settlement of Zaporizhzhya in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS on Saturday, citing information from Russia's Defence Ministry.
Reuters, however, has been unable to independently verify the report. The small village of Zaporizhzhya, with a pre-war population of approximately 200 residents, is near Pokrovsk, a strategic city that has witnessed some of the war's most intense battles over recent months. Pokrovsk serves as a vital transport hub in eastern Ukraine.
It is important to note that this village is distinct from the larger Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, an industrial hub located about 160 kilometers to the southeast.
