Ukrainian army driven out of Velyka Komyshuvakha and Zavody, while concern grows over Transnistria
Russian forces have pushed deeper into eastern Ukraine and captured several villages in their offensive to fully control the two provinces of Donbas, Kyiv has said, while to the west there are mounting fears that the war may spill over into neighbouring Moldova.
The Ukrainian defence ministry said on Wednesday that Russian forces had pushed Kyiv’s army out of Velyka Komyshuvakha and Zavody, in the north-eastern Kharkiv region, and gained control over Zarichne and Novotoshkivske in Donetsk.
