As the world starts to prepare itself for the inevitable peace negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, on the floor along the almost 1,000-mile-long frontline, Russian Federation forces keep advancing while the overpowered and outmaneuvered Ukrainian defenses struggle to resist.
It now arises that the Russians have captured the Donetsk village of Urozhaynoye.
While the locality itself is not as strategic as strongholds like Chasov Yar, it is relevant for being one of the few places conquered 11 months ago by Ukrainians in their failed summer offensive.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has officially announced that its troops seized Urozhaynoye and are now ‘clearing and demining it.’
Reuters reported:
“Urozhaynoye sits in the south of the eastern Donetsk region, close to the border with Zaporozhie. It has long been the site of fierce clashes, along with the neighboring village of Staromaiorske.”

“Deep State, a popular Ukrainian war blog, […] said Russian forces had taken control of Urozhaynoye. The U.S.-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), said on Saturday that geolocated footage from earlier in the weekend indicated Russian troops had advanced into the northern part of the settlement.
[Russian] State news agency Tass reported on Friday that Ukrainian troops had pulled back from positions in the center of the village.”
