MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia’s defence ministry said on Wednesday its forces had hit port infrastructure used to supply fuel to Ukrainian forces, Interfax news agency said.

The statement didn’t name the port. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said earlier that Russia had struck a gas distribution station in the southern region of Odesa.

Russian defence ministry also said that its forces had captured the settlements of Novoheorhiivka, Pankivka and Sukhetse in eastern Ukraine.
