Military: Privilia in Donetsk region under control of Defense Forces
The town of Pryvillia is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and reports of its alleged capture by Russian troops are untrue.
This was reported by the “East” military group on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
Ukrainian units continue to be active in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration. The enemy is suffering significant losses, the “East” military unit emphasized.
In the Pokrovsk direction, since the beginning of the day, Russian troops have made 22 attempts to dislodge Ukrainian defenders from their positions in the areas of the settlements of Nykanorivka, Rodynske, Sukhetske, Rivne, Kotlyne, Udachne, Molodetske, and in the direction of Novopavlivka and Filiia. The defense forces are holding back the offensive and have already repelled 19 attacks.
Ukrainian troops continue to control the northern part of Pokrovsk. All enemy movements are detected in a timely manner. Fire damage is inflicted on them.
In Myrnohrad, Ukrainian units control the northern part of the city. The Defense Forces continue search and strike operations to prevent further enemy advances.
In the Sloviansk direction, the defense of the village of Zakitne continues. The Russians are conducting constant assault operations, but without success. Units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces are holding their positions.
The settlement of Pryvillia is also under the control of the Defense Forces. Ukrainian units continue to carry out combat missions on designated lines.
“The statement by the Ministry of Defense of the aggressor state about the alleged capture of Pryvillia is untrue and is part of information and psychological operations aimed at creating the illusion of successes that do not actually exist,” the East Operational Command emphasized.
Ukrainian units are provided with the necessary means to maintain combat readiness in low temperatures. Logistical support remains difficult. Heavy drones and ground-based robotic systems are used for supplies.
As reported by Ukrinform, 62 combat clashes between the Ukrainian Defense Forces and Russian invaders have been recorded on the front line since the beginning of the day.
