The Ukrainian government announced this Sunday that its military forces had recaptured the village of Blagodatne, about 35 kilometers south of the city of Donetsk, in the last few hours.
The announcement was made by the adviser to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anton Gerashenko, on the social network Twitter.
“The city was liberated by the Ukrainian army,” he announced in his message, accompanied by a video of Ukrainian forces placing the national flag on the facade of what remains of a building half destroyed by fighting.
Personnel from the so-called 68th Separate Brigade of Oleksa Dovbush Hunters participated in the operation.
This unit published on its Facebook social network page photographs of its presence in the village, which is located about 140 kilometers northwest of Bakhmut, one of the main foci of the current conflict.
“The invaders resisted to the end, but could not resist the onslaught of the unstoppable wolves,” according to the unit’s message, collected by the Ukrinform news portal.
The unit also claims that several Russian servicemen have been captured and are now providing “information that will contribute to further liberation of Ukrainian territory.”
