In recent weeks Moscow has claimed to have taken a string of villages and settlements, many consisting of a handful of abandoned buildings.
Russia has said that its forces captured two frontline villages in Ukraine, Andriivka in the eastern Luhansk region and Pishchane in the northeast Kharkiv region.
The two villages are less than 20 kilometres from each other on a section of the frontline where Moscow has made grinding advances in recent weeks. According to the Institute for the Study of War, Pishchane has also been in the Kremlin's sights because its capture could pave the way for Russia to reach the Oskil river which lies about 10 kilometres away.
