A main road to Lugansk. Ukraine is moving east.

As Russian military operations continue on Ukrainian territory, the Ukrainian army has announced that its forces have taken control of an important road connecting two regions controlled by Russian forces in the east of the country.

Military officials said Ukrainian forces are slowly advancing from the east into the Lugansk region and are trying to retake a number of cities from Russian army control, more than 40 kilometers south of Svatove and Kreminna, where they are in violent clashes.

After capturing large tracts of land in a lightning strike, Ukrainian forces are now slowly heading east towards the Lugansk region capturing the two cities mentioned, where Kremena is located 45 kilometers south of Svatov.

On Wednesday, a Russian-backed separatist official reported heavy fighting in the regions in front line of Kremina and Svatov since Ukrainian forces expelled Russian forces from neighboring Kharkiv region in September.

Separately, the Ukrainian military intelligence directorate said its agents, who are fighting alongside regular forces, captured the village of Nevsk on Sunday, killing 34 Russians.
