Russian forces reach Vuhledar center, media claim capture
Russian troops have reportedly reached the center of Vuhledar, a mining town in eastern Ukraine, as they continue their efforts to capture the strategic location.
The governor described the situation as “extremely difficult,” with the town’s population drastically reduced due to the conflict.
Despite claims from Russian media about the town’s capture, the Russian Defense Ministry has not confirmed these reports. The town’s control is crucial for both sides due to its elevated position and strategic location at the intersection of front lines.
