The Ukrainian Defense Forces have liberated the village of Urozhaine in Donetsk Region from Russian occupants. Our defenders are consolidating on the borders of the settlement.

This was reported by the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Maliar on her Telegram. According to her, the offensive actions of the Ukrainian army continue.

The speaker of the General Staff of the AFU Andriy Kovalev said that after the liberation of Urozhaine Ukrainian troops continue attacks on the Russians at a briefing.

"Units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces have captured the settlement of Urozhaine while conducting offensive operations and are consolidating on the achieved borders," the speaker said.

He added that the Ukrainian military inflicts fire damage by artillery and carries out counter-battery countermeasures. The offensive operation continues in Bakhmut, Melitopol and Berdiansk directions.

The head of the Donetsk RMA Pavlo Kyrylenko reported that brutal fighting continued in Urozhaine the day before. However, the AFU military managed to enter the territory of the settlement and evacuate three people.

The village is subjected to heavy shelling by the Russian occupants. The fighting does not stop, so there is not even talk about stabilization measures, Kyrylenko stressed. Up to five hundred people lived in Urozhaine before the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.

The defenders also repelled attempts of the occupants to restore the lost position in the areas of Staromaiorske, Robotyne and around Bakhmut.
