Russia said Sunday its forces had gained territory near the key battleground town of Chasiv Yar in east Ukraine, highlighting the pressure facing Kyiv as it gears up to receive $61 billion in new U.S. aid.
After nearly a year-and-a-half delay, the United States House of Representatives finally approved the aid package in a vote Saturday, giving a morale boost to Ukrainian forces on the defensive.
Russia's Defense Ministry said Sunday it had taken control of Bohdanivka, a small frontline village less than three kilometers northeast of Chasiv Yar.
"Units of the southern grouping of troops have completely liberated the settlement of Bohdanivka," the ministry said.
Chasiv Yar, which had a population of about 13,000 before the conflict, has been largely destroyed by fighting and most residents have fled.
The Kremlin has sought to play down the impact of the new package of U.S. aid, which Russia's Foreign Ministry said would deepen Washington's "immersion" in the war.
