Russia-Ukraine war news: Russia claims to have thwarted Donetsk attack; strike in Belgorod
Russia thwarted a Ukrainian attack in the eastern Donetsk region, a Defense Ministry spokesman said in a video published Monday by the Russian state-owned RIA Novosti news agency. The attack on Sunday targeted five areas in southern Donetsk, Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said. His claims could not be verified, and it was unclear whether the attack was related to Ukraine’s expected counteroffensive. The Ukrainian Armed Forces reported 29 clashes in Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk in its Monday morning update but did not respond to Russia’s claims.
