BREAKING: UKRAINE LOST UKRAINSK, DPR

According to preliminary reports from Ukrainian frontlines, Ukrainian stronghold in Ukrainsk fell. The Russian army took control of the town in the Pokrovsk direction. The 114 Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation liberated the town of Ukrainsk in the DPR. The settlement was first encircled from the northern, eastern and southern directions. The last road west of Ukrainsk used for military supplies of the Ukrainian grouping came under Russian fire control. In the past days, Russian forces advanced on the streets and took control of about half of the town. As a result of heavy battles, Russian flags are waving in Ukrainsk. The loss of this stronghold is a heavy defeat of the Ukrainian military. Russian advance allowed to reinforce the flank of the cauldron for Ukrainian forces retreating on a wide area west of Nevelskoe. At the same time, it was the last obstacle that slowed down Russian advance towards the village of Tsukurino, where strategically important railway and large road from Pokrovsk to Selidovo and Kurahovo is located. The approaching Russian forces will soon cut them and disrupt Ukrainian military supplies on a wide front. Moreover, the further Russian offensive threatens the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Selidovo with encirclement from the south and Russian. Russian assault on Selidovo continues.
