As of January 11, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are still holding positions and destroying Russian invaders within the city of Kurakhove, located in the Donetsk region.

Points of attention

  • Information is spreading online about the capture of Kurakhovo by the Russians, but it is false.
  • The Ukrainian Defense Forces will hold positions at the TPP within the city limits.
  • The situation in the city is really difficult right now.

The Russians were unable to completely occupy Kurakhove

A statement on this occasion was made by Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the operational-strategic group of troops "Khortytsia".

He decided to comment on the news about the alleged complete capture of the city by Russian invaders.

Tregubov emphasized that this is a fake that was spread by many Ukrainian media outlets.

According to my information, there are battles going on in the Kurakhove area. In particular, Ukrainian positions are holding on to the TPP, which is part of the city of Kurakhove, so we cannot say that Russian troops have completely taken the city right now. Although, of course, most of the city there has simply been reduced to rubble. This must be acknowledged, the spokesman said.

According to him, the Ukrainian defenders have not left Kurakhove and are still maintaining their positions within the city limits.

Despite this, the situation as of today is really difficult.
