The statement of the russian occupiers about the alleged complete capture of the city of Toretsk in the Donetsk Region is not true.
The spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Troops Group (OSTG) Nazar Voloshyn said this in a comment to Suspilne Donbas.
According to him, the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to resist, despite active assault actions and shelling from the enemy.
"As of 4 p.m. in the Toretsk Axis, the enemy attacked eight times in the Toretsk area," Voloshyn said.
He added that four battles are still ongoing.
Analysts from the Ukrainian project DeepState also wrote that the russians lied about the alleged complete occupation of Toretsk.
The analysts said that hostilities are ongoing in the Zabalka neighborhood, as well as on the western and northern outskirts of the city.

On the afternoon of February 7, the Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country, russia, stated that russian troops had allegedly established full control over Toretsk.
According to the russians, the city was allegedly captured by units of the 51st Combined Arms Army of the russian armed forces.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on January 13, 2025, the DeepState analytical project announced an alleged deterioration of the situation in Toretsk and its surroundings.
