Russia claims its forces have occupied the whole of illegally-annexed Luhansk, which would make it the only Ukrainian region to have fallen in its entirety more than three years after Vladimir Putin launched his invasion.

Russian forces have taken control of the first village in the east-central Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk, Russian state media and war bloggers said on Monday (June 30), after Russia took 950 square kilometers of territory in two months.

Ukrainian forces claim to have stopped Russia’s advance into the northern Sumy region, stabilizing the front line near the border.
