Russia on Saturday said it had captured a village near the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka, after Kyiv said the situation on the eastern front was deteriorating.

The Russian defence ministry said troops had "liberated" the village of Pervomaiske in the Donetsk region, to the south of the largely destroyed industrial town of Avdiivka, which Russia fully captured in the middle of February.
