The soldiers of the 72nd Special Mechanised Brigade in a commentary for Suspilne denied the information of the Deep State about the Russia's full occupation of Vuhledar in Donetsk Region.
Some parts of the city, as the militiamen say, are still under the control of the Ukrainian Defence Forces. However, most of the neighbourhoods are really occupied by the Russian military. The head of the Donetsk regional military administration Vadym Filashkin reported about the presence of Russians practically in the centre of the city earlier.
The 72nd brigade was not ordered to withdraw from Vuhledar by the command. According to the soldiers, they have already managed to destroy five Russian brigades and now Russians are using another five brigades to storm the town. .
