Russia Says It Captured Key Ukrainian Village
The Russian Defense Ministry announced Sunday that its military forces had seized Bilohiria village, positioned approximately 16 kilometers (10 miles) east of Orikhiv city—a critical flashpoint in the Zaporizhzhia battleground.
The settlement lies roughly 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) southwest of Huliaipole, a front-line town Russia asserted it overran in late December. Ukraine has rejected that assertion.
Ukrainian officials have yet to address Russia's latest territorial claim. Independent confirmation remains nearly impossible amid the conflict now approaching its fourth year.
The announcement extends Moscow's pattern of declaring incremental gains across Ukraine's southeast, where fierce fighting has persisted despite winter conditions slowing operations across multiple sectors.
