OREANDA-NEWS Russian units have taken control of the city of Ugledar in the DPR, the Ministry of Defense reported.

"As a result of the decisive actions of the units of the Vostok group of forces, the settlement of Ugledar in the Donetsk People's Republic has been liberated," the ministry stressed.

On the eve of the adviser to the head of the DPR, Yan Gagin, told RIA Novosti that the Russian flag was installed on the administration of Ugledar.

In September, Verkhovna Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya called the loss of Coal a matter of time. She blamed this on the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Svirsky, who, according to her, created chaos in the 72nd brigade by removing the brigade commander from his post during the Russian offensive, and did not contribute to the replenishment of the unit.
