Russia's military has seized Kreminna in eastern Ukraine, a Ukrainian official says. It appears to be the first city Russian forces have taken since launching a new offense in the Donbas.
; Map: Jared Whalen/AxiosA senior U.S. defense official told reporters Tuesday that while they couldn't confirm the specific reports regarding Kreminna, limited offensive operations have been observed southwest of Donetsk and south of Izyum in Ukraine.
In concurrence with the offensive operations, the Russians are also continuing to conduct "shaping operations" to reinforce troops and equipment, the defense official said. Mariupol will likely fall within days, and there will be fierce fighting for Kherson, the official said, but Ukraine is otherwise well-positioned to limit the advance.
