"Russian Advances in Ukraine: Moscow Claims Another Village"

Russian forces have reportedly captured the village of Orlivka in Ukraine's Donetsk oblast, with the Russian Ministry of Defense claiming the advance, although this has not been independently confirmed. A map from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) illustrates the reported capture and other recent Russian gains in the region. Additionally, there have been clashes in the border region and attacks on the northeastern city of Kharkiv, while Ukraine faces critical shortages of weapons amid delays in U.S. Congress for further support. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin has warned of dire consequences if Ukraine does not receive additional assistance.
