The liberation of the village of Klishchiivka in the Donetsk region created a bridgehead for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will allow the development of a further offensive.

The head of the press service of the Eastern group of troops, Ilya Yevlash, announced this on the air of the Yedyni Novyni telethon, writes Ukrinform.

According to him, the liberation of Klishchiivka will first of all allow Ukrainian units to control the logistical routes by which the Russian army provides captured Bakhmut.

"In addition, this is the exposure of the flanks, in particular the southern one, which will allow us to advance more conveniently deep into the enemy's ranks and deliver more accurate and deeper fire strikes using various artillery systems," added the head of the press service of the Eastern Group of Forces.

According to Yevlash, Ukrainian defenders continue to establish themselves in the area and carry out stabilization actions, including demining. There is now intense fighting in the area near the railway line.

"This is a very important section for the Russians, as their supply arm is about 50-60 kilometers long. Everything beyond that is very difficult to provide logistically... At the moment, there is intense and fierce fighting in this direction. And we fight for every meter of our land. When it will be possible to finally inform about whose railway it is, we will definitely inform about it", Yevlash said.

We will remind, on September 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated the village of Klishchiivka, Donetsk region, from the Russian invaders.

#4  IDK if we can still call it a village.
Now that they got it, what can UKR do with it - that question remains unanswered.

A Village of Rubble, maybe

#3  Russia is still very committed to holding Bakhmut. They apparently are concentrating a lot of soldiers and equipment in that area.

#2  He's probably not wrong, but because it isn't copacetic to The Narrativeâ„¢, it's still "disinformation."
