MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian forces have made a fast advance into the eastern Ukrainian coal mining town of Selydove, according to Russian media and war bloggers, as Moscow's troops try to gain control over the whole of the Donbas region.

Capturing Selydove would pave the way for a Russian advance on the key logistical hub of Pokrovsk, located about 20 km (12 miles) northwest of Selydove.
