NNA -nbsp;Russian forces said on Tuesday they had captured the key hub of New York in eastern Ukraine, as Moscow — under pressure by a Kyiv counterattack on its territory — presses on with its offensive.
The defence ministry said its troops had captured quot;one of the largest settlements of the Toretsk agglomeration and the strategically important logistics hub (of) Novgorodskoyequot;, referring to the town in Ukraine#39;s Donetsk region by its former name.
The capture of the town, which had a population of around 10,000 before Moscow launched its offensive, is the latest in a string of Russian advances in the region. — AFP
