Do Russian forces control Siversk in Donetsk region? Ukrainian Army responds

The city in Donetsk region is facing a difficult situation. However, Russian forces have not established control over the settlement.

This was reported by the Operational Command "East."

"While the Sloviansk direction remains tense in the Siversk area, claims that the enemy has taken control of the city do not reflect reality," the military says.

Russian troops are trying to slip into the city in small assault squads, exploiting the weather. Ukrainian defenders are striking back, neutralizing the invaders in Siversk and around its approaches.

"Their attempts to plant flags across the city for propaganda purposes also end in losses for the occupiers," the Operational Command "East" said.

According to DeepState analysts, Russian troops are trying to make gains in the Siversk area.
