Russian forces have advanced 1.5 kilometres near the town of Lyman in eastern Ukraine, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday.

Russian forces repelled a Ukrainian offensive in the area and "having defeated it, Russian units launched a counterattack, advancing 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) along two kilometres of the front," Shoigu said in images shown on Russian state television.
