More about the liberation of Andriivka

According to DeepState, Ukraine’s 225th Separate Assault Regiment took control of the village after long battles and clearing operations against Russian forces.

Analysts said this helped in two ways: it pulled Russian troops away from other villages, since they were heavily dug in at Andriivka, and it stopped further advances toward the key settlements of Khotin and Pysarivka.

A battalion tactical group from the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade was sent in to secure control of the village.

• Previously, the OSINT project DeepState had reported that Russian forces had occupied the village of Shevchenko Pershe in the Donetsk region and were advancing near two other settlements in the region.
