The Russian army has taken control of Kotlyarivka, which is located 3 km from the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region.
This was initially announced by the Russian Ministry of Defence, and later confirmed by Ukrainian military officer Muchnyi.
He notes that Kotlyarivka is "completely captured and controlled" by Russia, although "it was taken much earlier, but without visual control."
Muchnyi also reports that the Russians have already entered Novoserhiivka, which is located north of Kotlyarivka, and are fighting for Orihove to the south, which is only a kilometer from the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region.
