Ukraine has for the first time liberated territory which has been under Russian control since 2014, British intelligence officials said.
The small patch of land is in an area near Krasnohorivka, some 10 miles south west of the city of Donetsk.
The capture marks the first time since Russia’s invasion in February last year that Ukraine’s forces have been able to retake land seized in the initial Donbas invasion eight years prior.
