Russia launched a major offensive in Ukraine, specifically in Zaporizhzhia, following the invasion of Mirnoye. Claims by Russia suggest the capture of several government buildings, including schools, in central Rabotino, making it the fourth village to fall to Russian troops in as many days. The fortification of positions in buildings previously used by Kyiv's army was also reported. Vladimir Rogov, the head of a pro-Russian group, touted significant gains by Russia-backed troops, mentioning advancements toward Verbovoye after the capture of Mirnoye on March 17. Mirnoye's strategic significance aids Moscow's troops in their battlefield advancement. Gaining control over Rabotino is deemed a notable achievement for Russia, coming shortly after the liberation of Avdeyevka by Russian forces. Despite Ukrainian military efforts to regain lost positions, particularly in the Zaporozhye region, they have faced setbacks under Zelenskyy's leadership. #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #vladimirzelensky #latestnews Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: Instagram: Download the app: Follow the TOI WhatsApp channel: Follow TOI for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: Twitter: Instagram:
