Russian Forces Liberate Three Settlements in Donetsk and Sumy Regions

The Donetsk villages of Rubezhnoye and Novoandreyevka sit near the strategic city of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), while Khrapovshchina lies close to the Russian border, making both areas key to ongoing military operations.

The liberation of these territories pressures Ukrainian supply routes and expands Russia's defensive buffer zone.
