Within a day, Russian forces captured three settlements in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions

Over the past day, Russian forces captured three settlements in Ukraine.

This was reported by the Ukrainian military Telegram channel Deep State.

First, the village of Shevchenko west of Kurakhovo, where Ukraine’s largest lithium deposit is located.

Second, the settlement of Ivanivka in the Lyman direction (in the area of the village of Terny).

Third, Lozova – a village in Kharkiv Oblast on the left bank of the Oskil River.

Recall that the Russians had claimed the capture of Shevchenko several days ago.

Earlier, journalist Yuriy Butusov wrote that the city of Kurakhovo in Donetsk Oblast was effectively lost, and that the remaining UAF forces in this direction should now be withdrawn.
