Vendler, Zeno. (1957). Verbs and Times. The Philosophical Review, 66(2), 143-160. Link. This work classifies verbs via a “time schema”, incl. states, activities, accomplishments, achievements. While old, it might help you broaden your awareness of the topic and find modern literature which it spawned.

Semantics of verbs of motion in Russian:
“These verbs are characterized by special aspectual properties, since in addition to the typical perfective/imperfective opposition, they exhibit a further aspectual distinction, sometimes referred to in the literature as determinate / indeterminate contrast. Determinate and indeterminate verbs do not differ in terms of their lexical meaning but do have different aspectual usages.”
