Analysts of the DeepState project have stated that the army of the aggressor country, russia, has allegedly captured one settlement and taken up positions in the areas of eight more. The advance of the invaders has been recorded in the Kharkiv and Donetsk Regions.
This is evidenced by the update of the interactive map of hostilities maintained by DeepState.
Kupiansk axis
On the Kupiansk axis (west of the Kharkiv Region), russian troops have allegedly advanced towards the settlement of Zahryzove.
Pokrovsk axis
According to DeepState, the greatest advance of the invaders was allegedly recorded in the area of the city of Pokrovsk, Donetsk Region.
Near the southern outskirts of the city, the russians have advanced near the settlements of Vidrodzhennia (formerly Novyi Trud), Pishchane and Vovkove.
A few kilometers south, the occupying forces have taken up a number of positions in the direction of the settlement of Novoolenivka.
Kurakhove axis
On this section of the front, analysts claim, the russians have expanded their zone of control in the central part of Kurakhove.
They also allegedly captured the village of Trudove and advanced into neighboring Uspenivka.
Vremivka axis
On the section of the front near Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk Region, russian advances were recorded near the village of Neskuchne.
As of now, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have neither confirmed nor denied the information published by DeepState analysts.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on December 18, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, announced an increase in the number of russian troops stationed on the territory of Ukraine.
We will remind, the day before, Reuters wrote that a number of European officials believe that a peacekeeping contingent of 100,000 people should be sent to Ukraine.
