DeepState reported the information.

Russia is spreading footage of their infantry being in the center of Torske, Donetsk region. There, the invading forces hung their rag (flag) and claimed to have allegedly captured the village.

In reality, these events took place before May 9. As a result, several Russian soldiers were taken prisoner, and others were destroyed.

"No changes will be made to the map, as the incursion was a one-time event and did not change the situation, although the area is becoming increasingly hot, as the enemy is constantly putting pressure on the area and feels the possibility of breaking through the positions," the post says.

In addition, a similar situation occurred in the village of Bahatyr, Donetsk region. The Russian troops tried to raise their flag, but the Defense Forces destroyed them. The Russians are actively pressuring the settlement with infantry, often using motorcycles.

"They rush into the village, hide in houses, and try to gather for further advancement. At the moment, they managed to get into the southern part of the settlement, but the Defense Forces are trying to destroy everything that moves toward the village and clear the area when the Russians try to go deeper," analysts say.

Additionally, the Russian forces have occupied Nove, and have also advanced in Chasiv Yar, Malynivka, and near Nova Poltavka.

  • Since the beginning of May 15, there have been 73 combat clashes on the front between the Russian and Ukrainian armies. The Defense Forces repelled 19 enemy attacks in the Pokrovsk direction.
