Ukraine Recaptures Two Villages in Donetsk Oblast
On October 26, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces announced the liberation of Kucheriv Yar and Sukhetske in Donetsk Oblast, approximately 30 kilometers north of Pokrovsk, over the past ten days. This follows a period of intense fighting and a rapid Russian advance in August, during which Ukrainian forces have since recaptured nine villages. Despite these Ukrainian gains, Russian forces continue offensives, having entered Pokrovsk and accumulated troops there, with reports of ongoing battles within the city. The 7th Corps of Ukraine’s Air Assault Forces confirmed Russian penetration to the railway as of October 20.
