Ukraine’s Defence Forces continue to hold Dobropillia in Donetsk region, despite claims by Russia’s defence ministry. This was reported by the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov”.
“The plans of the Russian Federation’s military and political leadership for this autumn envisage encircling Dobropillia. But it remains only in those plans and in the false reports of Russian commanders. The city of Dobropillia remains under the control of the Defence Forces, and Russian assault groups are promptly identified and destroyed on the approaches to it when they attempt to infiltrate the gap between positions,” the statement said.
The military urged people to trust official communications from Ukraine’s Defence Forces and not to spread Russian disinformation.
