Toretsk of Donetsk region remains under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, despite the recent statements of Russian propaganda about its "capture". This fake message has become part of an information campaign aimed at distracting attention from recent military failures in the Kursk region .
This was announced on the channel "Social.Nova" by Major Viktor Tregubov, a spokesman for the operational-strategic group of Khortytsia troops . He explained that this fake message of Russia probably appeared to show at least some "positive" for the Russian population after a series of failures.
“The Russians needed information success to mask their defeat in Kurshchyna. And so they launched a fake about the capture of Toretsk, ”Tregubov said.
Despite the heavy fights that continue in Toretsk, the Ukrainian forces continue to keep the city. In the official Telegram-channel, Khortytsia was reported that in this direction the enemy is actively trying to break through the defense of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, sending infantry to storm with the help of cars, which makes them vulnerable to Ukrainian drones.
"The enemy assaults using cars are becoming a light target for our drones," the military added.
According to Dmitry Zaporizhtsa , a spokesman for Lugansk , Russia is actively concentrating forces in the eastern part of Toretsk, in particular in the area of the correctional colony, trying to seize the key positions of Ukrainian troops in the mines "Central" and "Toretsk".
In general, even despite the growth of hostile attacks, Ukrainian units continue to protect the city and restrain the aggressor, despite considerable difficulties.
Meanwhile, the official reports and on the front continues to refute Russian applications for the full capture of Toretsk, and the ongoing fighting proves that the city remains under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
