Russian army trying to gain foothold on outskirts of Urozhaine - Khortytsia OSTG

The information that russian troops control a large part of the village of Urozhaine in the Donetsk Region, which was de-occupied by the Ukrainian military in August 2023, is not true. The Russian army is trying to gain a foothold on the outskirts of this settlement.

This was announced by the Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Troops Group (OSTG).

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to oppose the enemy's attempts to advance deep into our territory, direct their efforts to disrupt the occupiers' performance of operational offensive tasks," the message reads.

Fighting is currently ongoing in the Urozhaine area.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, meanwhile, last day, July 9, 147 combat clashes took place at the front, most of them in the Pokrovsk (43), Toretsk (18) and Lyman (17) axes.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the capture of Yasnobrodivka in the Donetsk Region by the russians.

On July 7, analysts of the Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState said that the Ukrainian military repelled the russians near the village of Hlyboke.

We will remind, the day before the Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko said that additional observation posts will be equipped in the north of the Kharkiv Region to fight against russian sabotage groups.
