Snip:

Russian forces have liberated Chasov Yar, a pivotal Ukrainian stronghold in Russia’s Donetsk Region, after months of fighting, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.

In a statement on Thursday, the ministry said the town had been taken as a result of offensive operations by the ‘South’ grouping of forces advancing towards the cities of Kramatorsk and Druzhkovka.

A TASS source said Russian troops in Chasov Yar have destroyed “perhaps the largest [Ukrainian] force in the history of the special operation.” “It is literally thousands of enemy personnel,” he added.

Huh, I remember talking about Chasiv Yar being important, and it looks like the Ukrainians were dug in really deep. Losing it will be a turning point in this front for Ukraine.
