According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, its military has taken control of two additional villages, Rivnopillia and Mala Tokmachka, in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. This announcement marks another development in the continuing war in Ukraine. The ministry’s statement suggests that these territorial gains are part of a broader strategic effort by Russia to assert control over key areas in the region. As the conflict continues, the situation remains a source of concern for both international observers and the Ukrainian government.
