Russian forces have seized control of Kurakhove, a town in Ukraine's Donetsk region, the Russian Defence Ministry said.
Gaining control over Kurakhove "has significantly hampered the logistics and technical support" of Ukrainian troops, the ministry said.
Kurakhove lies 32 km (20 miles) south of Pokrovsk, an important Ukrainian logistics hub towards which Russia has been advancing for months.
Russia says it captures Kurakhove in eastern Ukraine
