Russia claims more Ukraine land as hopes for summit fade

Russian troops have captured multiple villages in Donetsk, advancing towards key Ukrainian strongholds amid stalled peace talks and ongoing conflict, according to the Defence Ministry.

  • On August 22 and 23, Russian troops reported seizing several settlements within the Donetsk area of eastern Ukraine amid gradual territorial gains.
  • These gains followed Russia’s September 2022 claim of annexing Donetsk, while diplomatic hopes for a Russia-Ukraine summit have diminished.
  • Ukrainian forces recaptured the village of Zelenyi Hai near the Dnipropetrovsk border and halted some Russian advances according to military reports.
  • Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov confirmed that no meeting was scheduled, while President Zelensky claimed that Russia aims to extend the conflict and called on the Global South to exert pressure on Moscow.
  • The continuing fighting increases pressure on Kyiv's defenses as international mediation, including U.S. efforts by Trump, appears stalled amid threats of further sanctions on Russia.
