Russian troops are on the verge of capturing the town of Ugledar in the Donetsk region of Ukraine after nearly two years of attempts and heavy losses. The Ukrainian garrison defending this strategically important city is tired and in need of support.

Russian troops have taken full control of the eastern Ukrainian city of Ugledar, a strategic point of the Ukrainian military in the Donetsk region. Ugledar has withstood intense Russian attacks since the start of the war in 2022 and has been fighting all attempts to take over for 2.5 years.
