Russian forces have reported this Thursday that they have entrenched themselves on the outskirts of the town of Vuhledar, where fighting with Ukrainian forces is taking place, after announcing progress in the Donetsk region.

The authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic have indicated that Russian forces “have managed to enter the city and have entrenched themselves on the outskirts, bringing down the enemy forces.”

“Our artillery is working in the clashes against the enemy, who is trying to counterattack,” they have pointed out, according to information from the TASS news agency.

Thus, they have indicated that now the main objective of the Russian Army is not so much to “attack the city head-on” but to take over the city “slowly, successfully, as has been done in Soledar and is being carried out in Bakhmut”. . “This tactic is successful,” they stressed.
