The Ministry of Defense in Moscow has reported that its troops have taken Krasnoarmeysk in Donbass
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released frontline footage of its forces operating in key logistics hub Krasnoarmeysk in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic.
The city, which is known as Pokrovsk in Ukraine, along with Volchansk in Kharkov Region, has been fully liberated by Russian forces as of Monday, the chief of Russia’s General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, told President Vladimir Putin during a visit to a command post on November 30.
In the raw video footage provided by the MOD, soldiers of Russia’s Center joint group of forces can be seen sprinting from cover to cover and clearing buildings in Krasnoarmeysk.
As part of a large urban cluster and a key rail and road junction, the city serves as an important logistical hub.
Ukrainian forces in the Krasnoarmeysk-Dimitrov agglomeration have been encircled for weeks, with Dimitrov now under Russian control, according to the Kremlin.
Russian forces have also begun to push Ukrainian troops out of Gulyaypole in Zaporozhye Region, according to Gerasimov’s report to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Last week, Putin warned that Ukraine’s entire battle line across Zaporozhye Region could collapse after the rapid Russian advance bypassed its fortifications.
The Kremlin has maintained that it prefers a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict but has said that it will push towards its goals militarily while Kiev refuses to compromise in the peace talks.
