TRANSLATING KNOWLEDGE: FROM THEORY TO PRAXIS

 Translating academic knowledge into social praxis has always been a central question for critical theory. This is particularly true in an age of polycrisis. Neoliberal globalization has intensified the exploitation of natural resources, the financialization of social reproduction, and the precarization of labor. Climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and housing precarity yield a unique moment that urges us to consider how to bridge the gap between academic and practical knowledge. Moreover, the rise of chauvinist discourses and authoritarian political regimes around the world, often accompanied by outright attacks on knowledge production, has narrowed the potential for social scientists to communicate and impact public discourse. In this conference, we aim to explore the ways to overcome these challenges and translate our work into meaningful social action.

Translating knowledge into action has long been integral to grassroots activism in housing, migration, gender equality, and environmental justice. Academics continue to take an active part in social movements, working together with NGOS and mobilizing/ bottom-up initiatives.  We understand translation not only in the linguistic sense, but in a broader sense as interpretations, associations, and representations that mediate between different contexts. As Clarke et al. (2015) remind us, translation has a double significance “as both an act of domination (the means through which power, hierarchy, and rule are re-inscribed) and a condition of possibility in which dialogue, talking back, and building connections and solidarities [...] become possible.”  We take this double significance of translation as both a potentiality for engaged social research and a methodological tool in need of serious critical reflection.  This conference asks: What can be gained or lost in the translation of knowledge? How can translation be used for community-oriented social research? How can it be used as a critical methodological tool?

Group on Research, Education, and Training

On September 19, 1996, the AAMC Executive Council approved a proposal to establish a new AAMC Group to promote quality PhD and postdoctoral education in biomedical science. Membership in this body, termed the Group on Graduate Research, Education, and Training (GREAT), includes the faculty and administrative leaders of the PhD and postdoctoral education programs conducted under the auspices of accredited U.S. and Canadian medical schools. The GREAT maintains close ties with the Council of Deans and the Council of Academic Societies through special representation on the GREAT Steering Committee and the Administrative Boards of the two councils. The Group's professional development meetings have been held annually since October 1994. These events bring together an expanding number of faculty and administrative leaders to interact with national experts concerned with the quality and quantity of biomedical PhD programs. These meetings have led to a general recognition of the challenges and opportunities confronting these programs and an agenda and organizational structure that the AAMC may use to address them. At the annual meeting, new members are elected to the GREAT Steering Committee. In 2004, a MD-PhD Section was established to promote the development, growth and nurturing of physician-scientist training programs by representing the interest of MD-PhD programs. In 2008, a Postdoctorate Leaders Section was established to support and enhance the quality of postdoctoral research training and professional development for postdoctoral appointees by providing a forum for institutional leaders of postdoctoral education and training. Issues that have been and will continue to be explored within the context of the GREAT activities include:

• factors determining the quality of biomedical PhD degrees;
• the need for modernized PhD curricula;
• the challenges and opportunities posed by international PhD candidates and graduates;
• balancing the production of biomedical PhD graduates with career opportunity;
• the special nature and organization of graduate and postdoctoral education in the evolving academic medical center;
• institutional support for optimal postdoctoral training;
• diversity issues in biomedical graduate and postdoctoral programs; and
• the expectations, realities, and obligations of mentors and mentees.

GREAT Group representatives are appointed by the deans and/or CEOs of AAMC member institutions.

AAMC Member Institutions Membership to the GREAT is made under the authority of the medical dean of medical schools that are members of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The medical dean may delegate this authority or share it with the graduate dean or equivalent. The dean or deans shall nominate an individual, or individuals (as appropriate) from faculty or administrative ranks who serve(s) in an academic leadership role(s) in the graduate programs involving medical school faculty. If you are interested in becoming a GREAT representative and are a member of a medical school faculty, please contact your medical school dean. Non-AAMC Member Institutions The GREAT Steering Committee may also appoint voting members to the GREAT from non-AAMC member institutions when the Committee determines that those individuals represent biomedical training programs that are important for their quality, affiliations with medical schools, contributions to a diverse workforce, or other key characteristics. These members shall have all privileges of the floor and shall be entitled to one vote per member. Their term of membership shall be renewable yearly by the GREAT Steering Committee.

Request to Join Group on Research Education and Training (GREAT)

The Group on Graduate Research, Education, and Training offers numerous opportunities for members to collaborate and participate in group decisions and governance .

MD-PhD Section

In the fall of 2004, the Executive Council approved a proposal to establish a new MD-PhD Section of the GREAT. Membership in this body includes the faculty who serve as the institutional leaders of MD-PhD programs (MSTP and others) at medical schools. The mission of the MD-PhD Section is to advance the education, training and career development of physician-scientists, with an emphasis on training in the MD-PhD programs of LCME accredited medical schools. Individuals who are trained as both physicians and scientists make unique contributions to biomedical research, the translation of that research from theory to practice, and the leadership of academic health centers. The Section will promote the development, growth, and nurturing of physician-scientist training programs by representing the interests of MD-PhD programs and their students in the areas of admissions, educational programs, scientific curricula, research and clinical training, and post-graduate career development. To accomplish this, the Section will strive to:

• foster the development of innovative and successful methods for the education, training, and career development of physician-scientists across the spectrum of basic and clinical research;
• promote the sharing of these methods and the rigorous evaluation of their success;
• advocate for a continuing investment in the education and development of physician-scientists at all stages of their training and careers, and;
• serve as a resource within GREAT and the AAMC on matters relating to the Section's areas of interest and expertise.

The goals of the MD-PhD Section include:

• facilitating and enhancing the ability of institutions to improve human health through the education and training of physician-scientists.
• aiding in the optimization of the training of physician-scientists at the pre- and post-graduate levels so as to improve the likelihood that they will become successful investigators in a timely manner.
• gathering and analyzing data in support of its mission.
• advocating for effective integration of training and career pathways for physician-scientists at institutional, local, and national levels.
• educating the public and policy makers regarding the contribution of physician-scientists in the discovery and translation of biomedical research into human disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
• fostering networking and information exchange among MD-PhD programs and their leadership, and
• coordinating and engaging with entities within the AAMC that have complementary and/or overlapping interests.

MD-PhD Leadership and Committees

The MD-PhD section of the Group on Graduate Research, Education, and Training offers numerous opportunities for members to collaborate and participate in group decisions and governance . 

Postdoctorate Leaders Section

In October 2002, the GREAT established a Postdoctorate Committee to focus on policy issues related to postdoctorate education. During the course of this committee's deliberation, increasing consensus developed within the GREAT Steering Committee and the membership of the desirability of forming a Postdoctorate Leaders Section to meet a national need. In February 2008, the AAMC Executive Council approved a proposal to establish a new Postdoctorate Leaders Section of the GREAT. Membership in this body includes the institutional leaders of postdoctoral training programs at medical schools. The mission of the Postdoctorate Leaders Section of the GREAT is to support and enhance the quality of postdoctoral research training and professional development by providing a forum for the faculty members and administrative officials responsible for postdoctoral education and training policy matters at LCME accredited medical schools and teaching hospitals. Goals The goals are to:

• Facilitate and enhance the ability of institutional leaders to provide quality postdoctoral research training and professional development for postdoctoral appointees at their institution.
• Support the development of institutional policies for postdoctoral appointees such as equitable compensation, benefits, term appointment limits, leave policies, and grievance procedures;
• Support and provide guidance for the development and functioning of postdoctoral offices;
• Develop opportunities to share models of good practices for postdoctorate policies and educational programs;
• Acknowledge, support, and develop strategies that promote successful mentoring relationships among postdoctoral trainees and their faculty mentors;
• Acknowledge and support strategies that promote diversity to broaden the participation of underrepresented populations;
• Foster interaction and collaboration with funding agencies and professional organizations; and
• Identify metrics that allow institutions to systematically assess the quality of their postdoctoral research training and professional development efforts and assist them in gathering and analyzing data.

Postdoctorate Leaders Section Committees

The Postdoctorate Leaders Section Steering Committee manages the affairs of the Section and approves all committee appointments.

PhD Conference 2024: Social Science Approaches to Crime, Harm, and (In)Justice

• Prospective Students
• Student Initiatives

The second annual PhD Criminology conference took place from 22 nd -23 rd April 2024. As with last year, it was organised by PhD researchers. Daria Przybylska, a PhD candidate at the Institute’s Prisons Research Centre, organised it this year.

This year’s conference kept last year’s theme, ‘Social Science Approaches to Crime, Harm and (In)Justice’. Our speakers engaged with this theme from a variety of perspectives, from sociology to migration studies.

On 22 nd -23 rd April 2024, the Institute of Criminology hosted their second annual PhD-led conference.

This conference was created to provide an opportunity for PhD researchers in criminology and adjacent fields to share their work and network. Through this, they could develop confidence in their work and professional skills without the pressures of the larger criminology conferences. A key part of this is the conference being organised by PhD students. Daria Przybylska, a PhD candidate at the Institute’s Prisons Research Centre, was proud to lead this year’s organising team.

“It wasn't easy to manage alongside all of our workloads as PhD students – I was actually conducting fieldwork at the same time. So, it was great to have a responsive and hard-working team that stepped up when I needed them,” she says. “Also, we were only able to do this thanks to the encouragement and support from our department, namely our director Professor Eisner, and other academic and administrative staff at the Institute.”

This year’s conference maintained last year’s theme, ‘Social Science Approaches to Crime, Harm and (In)Justice’. Attendees’ fields of speciality included criminology, but also sociology, terrorism studies, migration studies, gender studies, queer studies, and anthropology, to name a few. Attendees also provided many different theoretical and empirical perspectives on how to research the central themes. Daria points to recurring themes of interpersonal, systemic and structural victimisation and inequality within and outside the criminal legal system. Crucially, this included speakers with lived experience.

Presenters came from within Cambridge and many other universities, in the UK and abroad. Key to attracting such a breadth of students was the low cost of this conference. Many of the larger conferences are prohibitively expensive for early-career researchers. This conference used a simple £5 registration fee, which funded bursaries for researchers with no financial support.

Attendees left the conference with new ideas both within and beyond their immediate expertise, and hopefully feeling inspired and motivated. Out of many excellent presentations, two examples that stood out to Daria were the use of Participatory Action Research methods in research with care-experienced youth, and digital sexual harassment research in the Metaverse.

“I think what the conference really highlighted was [a] need for critical perspectives, but also for a sensitive and genuine inclusion of lived experience in our work. There are so many bureaucratic barriers in criminology to doing Participatory Action Research, for example. Some of these are justified, but the new generation of researchers – with support and encouragement from more established academics – should question whether existing bureaucratic frameworks for the social sciences are really the best way of doing ethical and impactful research”.

Looking forward, Daria commented that “The Institute of Criminology has a long tradition of being a beacon in our field. That makes it ideal for the next generation of scholars to continue the legacy of pushing intellectual boundaries and finding solutions to the very real problems of crime, harm and (in)justice”.

Fronteras: ‘From GED to PhD’ — Hispanas Unidas celebrates the 40th anniversary of a conference by, for, and about Latinas

Forty years ago, a group of women determined to make a difference in San Antonio gathered for the first Hispanas Unidas conference at Our Lady of the Lake University. Over a thousand Latinas from all walks of life convened to talk about a wide range of issues that impacted their day-to-day lives.

Hispanas Unidas grew into an organization that empowers Latinas in the community through education, advocacy, and engagement.

It now marks its 40th anniversary with a conference that honors the trailblazers who launched the initial effort and the leaders who are carrying on the mission.

San Antonio activist María Antonietta Berriozábal founded Hispanas Unidas back in 1984.

Berriozábal, the first Latina to serve on the San Antonio City Council in 1981, reflected on the impetus behind creating the conference.

“The concept of Hispanas Unidas that we had in the beginning was that those Latinas who have resources — whether in education, financial resources, some kind of position, or even just time — give to the ones that are still working on it,” she said. “Then we gather from GED to PhD.”

Attorney Alejandra Villarreal, the co-chair of the Hispanas Unidas 2024 conference, was a speaker at the original 1984 conference.

She said the experience opened her eyes to the struggles many women face.

“I had never really thought about how others don't have the same kind of ... didn't have the same kind of luxury that I had,” she said. “My father would tell me when I was young, ‘You're going to be a lawyer.’ That was a decision that I had already made. So, I see a lot of people who never even considered it.”

The 2024 Hispanas Unidas Reunion and Conference is Sept. 13 and 14 at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio.

The conference opens with a reception, an art exhibit, a showcase by Latina authors, and an ofrenda to honor Latinas no longer with us. It continues Sept. 14 with a plenary session that looks back at the issues of 1984 and the path forward.

Susana López-Krulevitch, the first executive director of Hispanas Unidas, encouraged people to attend panel discussions on mental health, voting equality, and more.

“Bring abuelita, bring your daughter, bring your nieces. They need to see this,” she said. “It's a great opportunity for young women, especially high school, late middle school girls to see what all they can be.”

WNBA star Brittney Griner released from Russian custody in a high-profile prisoner swap between the U.S. and Moscow

WASHINGTON —  WNBA star Brittney Griner  is free Thursday after the Biden administration negotiated her release from a Russian penal colony in exchange for an arms dealer.

President Joe Biden signed off on the trade, which took place in the United Arab Emirates, even though it meant leaving behind Paul Whelan, an American corporate security executive who remains jailed in Russia.

The move marks one of the most high-profile prisoner swaps between Moscow and Washington since the Cold War, with the Kremlin seeing the return of Viktor Bout, who Russian President Vladimir Putin has been wanting to get back — and who had served 11 years of a 25-year sentence in the United States.

Griner’s return to the United States will cap a monthslong saga that began in February when she was detained at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport after Russian authorities said they found vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage. She was later jailed on drug charges.

The 32-year-old Phoenix Mercury player was the subject of prolonged and often public negotiations between the two countries after a trial that  underscored frayed relations  amid  Russia’s war in Ukraine . Biden’s administration had sought the release of both Griner and Whelan.

“I’m telling you, I am determined to get her home and get her home safely — along with others, I might add,” Biden said of the situation on Nov. 9.

Whelan is serving a 16-year prison sentence after being accused of spying, which the U.S. has denied. People familiar with the negotiations for his release say the Russians refused to release Whelan without getting a Russian spy in return. The U.S. insists it does not have any Russian spies in its custody, and thus no one to trade to meet the Kremlin’s demand.

Griner’s release marks a stunning turn of events from last month, when she began serving a nine-year sentence  at a Russian penal colony  more than 200 miles east of Moscow.

During her trial in July, Griner pleaded guilty but said she had no criminal intent. Griner said the canisters, which she had been prescribed to treat chronic pain, were packed inadvertently as she hurriedly prepared for her flight.

As her trial neared its end in early August, it became public that the U.S. put a prisoner swap offer on the table for Moscow to consider. Russia called for “quiet diplomacy” but said after her sentencing that it was  ready to discuss  a deal.

NBC News reported in July that the U.S.  proposed  a prisoner exchange with Russia for the release of Griner and  Whelan , who has been detained since 2018. That deal, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed at the time, would have included the U.S. releasing Bout, known as the “Merchant of Death” because he was considered one of the world’s largest illicit arms dealers.

Bout  was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison  in 2012 after he was convicted of selling arms to Colombian rebels, which prosecutors said were intended to kill Americans. The Kremlin has been demanding his release over the past decade, saying he was unfairly targeted.

The Washington-Moscow swap marks the most prominent diplomatic engagement between the two countries since the U.S. and its allies firmly backed Kyiv and condemned the Kremlin for launching the war against its neighbor in February.

The Biden administration has faced tremendous pressure to help bring home the 6-foot-9 Houston native. Griner’s teammates, family and friends, as well as a number of U.S. celebrities lobbied for her return.

Griner’s release is the second publicly known U.S. prisoner swap with Russia since the war in Ukraine started .  American  Trevor Reed  was released in April after spending nearly three years in a Russian jail. The former Marine was freed in a  prisoner exchange  that saw Biden commute the sentence of Konstantin Yaroshenko, a convicted Russian drug trafficker serving time in Connecticut who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the U.S. in 2010.

With the United States and its Western allies confronting the realities of a new Cold War with Russia in the wake of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, the high-stakes swap will evoke memories of Soviet-era trades involving spies.

One of the most well known Cold War swaps involved American pilot Francis Gary Powers, whose U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union. He was traded in 1962 for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel in an exchange on a fog-shrouded bridge between West Berlin and East Germany.

The largest U.S.-Russian spy swap since the Cold War  came in 2010  when 10 Russian agents, including  Anna Chapman , were exchanged for four other Russians accused of spying for the West — among them  Sergei Skripal , who was later poisoned with a nerve agent in the United Kingdom. The British government  blamed  Moscow for the poisoning.

Russian shelling has killed three women in a small village in the Donetsk region, the local governor has said. 

Vadym Filashkin said Russian forces hit the village of Cherkaske with cluster munitions this morning, killing the women, aged 43, 45, and 53.

The attack also injured a man, and damaged at least nine private houses and cars, he added. 

It comes after at least two people died and four injured by overnight Russian air attacks on the Sumy region (see 7.36am post).

The head of the CIA has warned that any move by Iran to supply Russia with ballistic missiles for its war in Ukraine would be a "dramatic escalation" - but Ukrainian sources say this has already happened.

It is part of a pattern of ever-tighter cooperation between Moscow and Tehran which has already seen the Iranian regime transfer huge quantities of killer drones, ammunition and artillery shells in return for cash and help from Russia on improving its own military technology and manufacturing capabilities.

This includes the alleged gifting by the Kremlin to Iran of captured Western weapons, such as the N-LAW anti-tank missile.

A Russian drone violated Romanian airspace during overnight attacks on Ukraine, according to officials. 

The incident occurred as Russia carried out attacks on "civilian targets and port infrastructure" across the Danube River in Ukraine, Romania's ministry of national defence said.

Romania deployed F-16 jets in response and NATO allies have been informed, it added. 

Romanian emergency authorities also issued text alerts to residents of two eastern regions.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Romania has confirmed drone fragments on its territory on several occasions, most recently in July this year.

To great surprise among allies and enemies alike, Ukraine has managed to successfully launch - and maintain - a land grab of Russian territory.

For more than month, Kyiv's troops have occupied a significant portion of the Kursk region - up to 1,300sqkm if Ukrainian estimates are to be believed. 

While holding the land opens up the prospect of a territory swap later down the line, one of the shorter-term aims was to force Russia to redirect its considerable forces inside Ukraine a little closer to home. 

But are Russian troops actually being pulled out of Ukraine and away from their previous objectives? 

Ukraine's GUR military intelligence chief Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov said yesterday that the invasion had signalled theatre-wide impacts on Russian offensive operations.

He claimed Ukraine had successfully disrupted Russian plans for the rest of August, but admitted that Russian military command is still committing most available manpower to achieve their objectives in Russia's "main direction". 

He was almost certainly referring to Pokrovsk.

The city has been under aerial bombardment and is slowly being advanced upon by Moscow's troops, with the nearby town of Novohrodivka and village of Kalynove claimed by the ministry of defence in the last two days alone. 

It's home to a major logistics hub used by Ukrainian forces, which services the eastern region of Donbas.

Analysts, including experts at the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), have noted intensifying Russian operations around the city are taking place in spite of the Kursk invasion.

Interestingly, "ISW has not observed intensified Russian offensive operations in other frontline areas in Ukraine" - suggesting that the Kursk operation has had at least some impact in forcing Moscow to redirect its forces.

However, Moscow's military command has "almost certainly decided to prioritise Russian advances near Pokrovsk" and is "committing available manpower and materiel to the area at the expense of Russian offensive operations in other directions".

Can Russia capture Pokrovsk and defend Kursk at the same time?

Russian military bloggers don't seem to think so. 

Voenkor Kotenok claimed manpower constraints meant it was unlikely that Russia could claim Pokrovsk and kick Ukraine's forces out of their defensive positions and back across the border. 

He also claimed Russian forces are continuing offensive operations around Pokrovsk despite being "exhausted" and "exsanguinated".

ISW suggested that Russian forces will likely eventually take the city, but there is a possibility that troops will completely tire before then. 

Watch: Russian forces fight in Kursk region

Will winter impact fighting? 

Winter is not far away now and conditions along the front will be massively impacted. 

Lie Gen Budanov said yesterday it would complicate Russian operations, but did not think that it would stop them completely, comments echoed by the ISW.  

"The fall mud season has historically hampered Russian and Ukrainian ground manoeuvre, but periods of prolonged freezing temperatures that typically begin in late December freeze the ground and allow armoured vehicles to move more easily than in autumn and spring months," ISW said.

"Fall and winter weather conditions will likely complicate Russian and Ukrainian battlefield activity, but are very unlikely to completely stall activity along the frontline."

Russia is waging a "reckless campaign of sabotage" across Europe, the heads of MI6 and the CIA warned.

Sir Richard Moore and Bill Burns also said the UK and the US faced an "unprecedented array of threats". 

Watch our security and defence editor Deborah Haynes ' report on their comments here...

With the US election looming, we ask experts what they think a second Trump presidency would look like for Europe and the war in Ukraine.

Former British ambassador to the US, Lord Darroch, was asked by Sky's Trevor Phillips  about previous comments, in which he described the previous Trump administration as "inept and insecure".

Lord Darroch replied, saying he worries "more about a Trump second term than his first term". 

The former US president will be "better prepared" and have a "greater understanding of how to get his  agenda through", he added. 

Donald Trump's ideas on Ukraine, comments on NATO and threat of imposing tariffs on the rest of the world are "all very dangerous stuff", Lord Darroch said. 

However, he noted Mr Trump "isn't a great policy person" so it is also "a bit of an unknown quantity".

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government reshuffle continues - appointing a new adviser. 

Oleksandr Kamyshin, formerly minister for strategic industries, will now serve as an external adviser for strategic issues, a decree published on the presidential website said.

Mr Kamyshin resigned his former ministerial position last week as part of a Ukrainian government shake-up, which takes place at a critical juncture in the war with Russia.

Russia invaded Ukraine more than 30 months ago. In that time, both Russia and Ukraine have made considerable advances - only to lose territory again in vicious fighting.

Today, Kapesa asks:

Who is winning between Russia and Ukraine?

Military analyst  Sean Bell  says...

When Russia initiated its brutal invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin appeared to expect Ukraine to capitulate within days.

However, stoical Ukrainian resistance combined with growing Western military support forced Russia to modify its war aims. 

Over 900 days into the war, it is very difficult to use terms like "winning" given the price that both sides are paying in this grinding war of attrition.  

However, we can provide an objective assessment of progress to date.

Although we can only speculate about Mr Putin's specific objectives for the war, he has consistently suggested that the aim of his "special military operation" is securing Crimea, the Donbas, and the Land Bridge linking the two areas.  

Russian forces have secured the majority of this territory over the course of the war, and have advanced further into Ukraine territory this month than in any month since October 2022.

While Ukraine has conducted an audacious incursion into Russian territory - the first time Russia has suffered occupation since 1941 - and has also increased the intensity of drone and missile attacks deep into Russia, such attacks look unlikely to divert Russian forces from their main effort in the Donbas region.

For now, Russian forces are making grinding progress towards securing the remaining areas of the Donbas not yet occupied, and it looks likely that this will remain Russia's priority for the remaining weeks before winter arrives and fighting becomes more difficult.  

If Russia achieves Putin's military objectives this year, their military capability will need to be regenerated before they are able to conduct further large scale military operations.

Therefore, we should expect Mr Putin might then declare he has achieved his military ambitions - for now - and be prepared to negotiate an end to the war.

However, whether President Volodymyr Zelenskyy might be prepared to accept Russia's terms in those circumstances, only he can know.

Russian forces have taken control of the town of Novohrodivka in Donetsk region, state media reports, citing the defence ministry.

This comes amid increasing military pressure in the area - with Russian forces setting their sights on Pokrovsk, which lies some 15km northwest of Novohrodivka as the crow flies. 

The city of Pokrovsk, which has been under aerial bombardment and is slowly being advanced upon from several sides by Moscow's troops, is home to a major logistics hub used by Ukrainian forces, which services the eastern region of Donbas. 

Russian forces have for months sought to capture the town, but their advance appears to have picked up speed in recent weeks. 

"Pokrovsk is a very important hub, a centre of defence. If we lose Pokrovsk, the entire front line will crumble," military expert Mykhaylo Zhyrokhov told the BBC last month.

Russian forces also claimed to have captured the nearby village of Kalynove yesterday. 

Ukraine has not commented on Russian claims.
