      <title>Russia says its forces advance in Ukraine despite US-brokered ceasefire deal</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russian forces have advanced in the east of Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, taking the village of Novoheorhiivka close to the Donetsk region, Russia’s defence ministry said on Wednesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russian forces said in July that they had taken their first village in Dnipropetrovsk, and US estimates of the battlefield indicate Russian forces control less than 1% of the region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dnipropetrovsk is not one of the five regions of Ukraine that Russia has claimed as its own territory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Soldiers of the 57th Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade pushed out the enemy from Novoheorhiivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region,” Russia’s defence ministry said. Reuters could not independently confirm the battlefield report.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russia controls nearly 114,500 square km (44,600 square miles) or 19% of Ukraine, including Crimea and a major chunk of territory in the east and southeast of the country, according to open-source maps of the battlefield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russia’s defence ministry also said its forces had hit port infrastructure used to supply fuel to Ukrainian forces and a plant used to assemble drones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The statement didn’t name the port. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said earlier that Russia had struck a gas distribution station in the southern region of Odesa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russia’s defence ministry also said that its forces had captured the settlements of Pankivka and Sukhetse in eastern Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;
