Russia captures Vuhledar in Ukraine's Donetsk region - DeepState

This was reported by the OSINT portal DeepState.

“Russians have occupied Vuhledar. The bastards are posting rags on all corners of the town. I don't want to comment on the last days of the defense, because nothing will change anyway. We honor those who fought and those who are no longer with us,” the OSINT specialists said in a statement.

The town of Vuhledar was founded in 1964 and is located in the southwestern part of Donetsk region. Before the full-scale war, about 15 thousand people lived here.

On September 30, the General Staff confirmed that fighting continued around Vuhledar. 

“But to be clear, this is probably the hardest fight the 72nd Brigade has faced throughout the entire defense of Vuhledar,” military expert Serhiy Zgurets said. "The situation is critical. We’ll see what happens next in Vuhledar and what the military leadership decides to do about it," he added.

There is no official confirmation of the DeepState information yet.

• On the morning of October 1, the director of the Defense Express media and consulting company, Serhiy Zgurets, reported that the enemy had entered the western and eastern parts of Vuhledar, while the Ukrainian side was defending the central part of the town.
