The city of Sviatohirsk in Donetsk region remains under Ukrainian control. Russian propaganda outlets are once again spreading false claims that the city has been seized.
This was reported by the Donetsk Regional Military Administration.
The administration noted that the Russians are trying to back up their statements with staged material. At the same time, the head of the Sviatohirsk City Military Administration, Volodymyr Rybalkin, is currently in the city itself.
According to him, the situation in Sviatohirsk is very difficult. The front line is nearby, and Russian forces regularly shell the city, creating a constant threat to people and infrastructure.
Despite the difficult security situation, Sviatohirsk remains under Ukrainian control. The local authorities continue to work and keep the city functioning as far as security conditions allow.
