Russia Says Forces Gain More Territory in Dnipropetrovsk
Russia claims it has taken more land in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, a significant area not previously targeted for Russian control.

Ukraine's forces are fighting to hold the front line near the eastern border of the area.
Russia's push could also cut off Ukraine’s supplies.
The fighting has increased despite recent peace talks.
If Ukraine does not accept Russia's territorial gains, Russia said they would advance further.
