Russia claims a major victory in Donbass, announcing over 265 Ukrainian soldiers killed in strikes during the liberation of Shcherbinovka, Donetsk.
The Defense Ministry released footage showing destroyed artillery, including a US-made M777 howitzer.
Putin hailed the offensive by Vostok Group forces, saying Ukrainian defenses collapsed in Iskra.
Moscow frames Donbass as historically Russian, vital to pushing NATO back and safeguarding its core territories.
Analysts say Putin will never return the region, viewing its loss as a national humiliation comparable to Crimea.
