Russia alleges seizing three more settlement in Ukraine
(MENAFN) Russia declared on Friday that its forces have taken control of three more settlements in eastern Ukraine. According to a statement from the Defense Ministry, troops operating in the Dnipropetrovsk region captured the village of Pryvillia, situated roughly 6 kilometers southwest of Verbove—a village Moscow reported capturing earlier on October 1.
Pryvillia lies close to the administrative boundary dividing the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. The statement also indicated that Russian forces secured the villages of Pishchane and Tykhe in the northeastern part of the Kharkiv region. Pishchane is located about 22 kilometers southeast of Kupiansk, a key battleground in Moscow’s ongoing offensive. This week, the regional governor announced mass evacuations from 27 settlements near Kupiansk due to the “worsening security situation.”
Tykhe is positioned approximately 5 kilometers from the Russia-Ukraine border and about 60 kilometers northeast of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, which has been frequently targeted by Russian airstrikes throughout the conflict.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian military officials stated that their forces successfully repelled 13 Russian attacks over the past day near five settlements along the Kupiansk front, including Pishchane. Reports also noted fighting on Thursday near the frontline city of Vovchansk, located just west of Tykhe, as well as near Verbove in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
