The Ukrainian military has officially denied the Kremlin's claim of capturing a city in the eastern Donetsk region. According to Ukrainian officials, their troops continue to hold their positions and resist Russian infiltration attempts. Russia had previously announced the successful seizure of the settlement, but Kyiv categorically rejects this information. The Ukrainian army emphasizes that the situation on the front line is difficult, but soldiers continue to fight for every meter. This is just one of many instances where Russia spreads false information about military achievements. Ukraine's defense forces still control the situation and are taking all necessary measures to maintain defensive lines. The exact name of the city is not disclosed due to operational security reasons. Heavy fighting continues, and Ukraine calls on the international community not to trust Russian propaganda.
