Ukrainian Soldiers Abandon Bases After Putin's Men Fire Hypersonic Missile, Storm Donetsk

Russia's Defence Ministry said that its forces had captured the settlement of Novodmytrivka in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, their latest gain in what Defence Minister Andrei Belousov described as an accelerated advance.

Ukraine's military made no mention of the village, north of the key town of Kurakhove. But in a late night report, the General Staff noted it was among eight villages where Russian forces were engaged in fighting and trying to advance.
