Russia says its forces push further in eastern Ukraine

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday it had captured the village of Marynivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, where its forces have been pushing towards the important logistics hub of Pokrovsk.

Ukraine's General Staff did not comment on the status of Marynivka but said areas near there and Selydove, to the southwest, had seen the biggest concentration of Russian attacks over the past day. It said 42 Russian assaults on the Pokrovsk front had been repelled.
