Russia announced that it has taken control of the village of Grodovka in Ukraine
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the village of Grodovka in the Donetsk region of Ukraine was taken under control. The New York Times analysis states that Ukrainian troops are gradually withdrawing from the cities of Donbass in order to exhaust the Russian army as much as possible in heavy battles.
"As a result of the determined actions of the units of the Central Army Group, Grodovka settlement of the Donetsk People's Republic was liberated," said the report of the Russian Defense Ministry on the progress of the "special military operation".
Last week, the Ministry of Defense of Russia reported that the city of Ugledar, which was under the control of the Ukrainian army, and then the second settlement of Jelanne in the Donetsk region of Ukraine were taken under control.
Ukrainian troops are gradually withdrawing from the cities of Donbass in order to tire the Russian army as much as possible in heavy fighting, but whether this tactic will be successful or not is not yet known, the New York Times wrote in an analysis of Kiev's military strategy.
