Russia claims more land in Ukraine as US pushes its plan; EU, UK regroup
"Moscow says it is successfully pushing deeper into Zaporizhia and Pokrovsk in Donetsk and taking more territory. Russian forces continue to report advances in eastern Ukraine while the United States ramps up intensive diplomatic pressure on Kyiv and its European allies to accede to its proposed 28-point plan, which heavily leans towards the Kremlin's demands, by Thursday. The Russian Ministry of Defence announced on Saturday that its soldiers liberated the settlement of Zvanivka in Donetsk region's Bakhmut, allegedly inflicting significant losses on Ukrainian forces."
"It also released footage of air attacks and FPV drone attacks on Ukrainian positions in the Zaporizhia region, where Russian forces have been getting closer to the strategic town of Huliaipole using glide bombs and tactical ground incursions. The Defence Ministry claimed that the Novoe Zaporozhye area was taken under Russian control, including a major enemy defence node covering an area of more than 14sq km (5sq miles)."
Russian forces report deeper advances into Zaporizhia and Pokrovsk in Donetsk, claiming territorial gains and village captures since September. The Defence Ministry reported liberation of Zvanivka near Bakhmut and said it inflicted significant losses on Ukrainian troops. Russian footage showed air strikes and FPV drone attacks, plus glide-bomb and ground incursions toward Huliaipole. The Novoe Zaporozhye area was claimed under Russian control, including a defence node covering more than 14 sq km. Fighting around Pokrovsk is described as fierce, with at least one civilian killed and 13 injured. Ukrainian forces reported an Iskander-M launch and 104 drones, 89 of which were downed.
