The day before, Deep State analysts reported that the Russian army had occupied the town of Kurakhove in Donetsk Region and advanced near Andriyivka, Solone and Novosilka.
A spokesman for the Khortytsya unit said that the Ukrainian military had positions within Kurakhove, but that Russian troops had not fully occupied the town.
"According to my information, there are battles in the area of Kurakhove. Among other things, Ukrainian positions are held at the thermal power plant, which is part of Kurakhove, so we cannot say that Russian troops have taken the town completely. Although, of course, most of the town has been reduced to rubble. We have to admit it," said the spokesman for the Khortytsya separate military unit.
According to Tregubov, Ukrainian troops still hold positions within the city, "we cannot talk about any abandonment," the military said.
