Ukrainian forces appear to have broken through Russian lines into the Donbas region that Moscow had previously controlled since 2014, British intelligence said Tuesday.

The British Ministry of Defense said Ukrainian airborne forces have made "small advances" east of the village of Krasnohorivka, near Donetsk, which previously sat on the "old Lines of Control."

Russian-backed forces under the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic had been fighting with Ukrainian military forces in the eastern region for eight years leading up to Russia’s February 2022 invasion.
