“Not true.” DeepState denied ISW’s information about the capture of Kurakhovoy

This is stated in the project statement.

“The information from ISW about the “alleged capture of Kurakhovoy” is not true. Fighting continues on the western and southern outskirts, although the trends are disappointing, of course,” the analysts said.

DeepState also updated the map of the hostilities and noted that Russian troops advanced near Shevchenko, Yantarny, Rozlyv, Rivnopol, in Kurakhovo and Toretsk.

On December 27, a report by the Institute for the Study of War suggested that the Russians had probably captured Kurakhove after two months of intense offensive operations.

The ISW noted that the invaders advanced to the administrative borders of Kurakhovo and captured the settlement and fields south of the settlement and north of Dalny.

Russia stepped up its attack on the city as early as mid-October 2024.

According to reports, the aggressor has concentrated approximately 35,000 to 36,000 troops in the direction of Kurakhovo in recent months and has likely suffered significant losses during this period.

Over the past two months, the occupiers have also carried out a large number of armored attacks in and near Kurakhovo and likely suffered significant armored losses.

On December 24, DeepState reported that the army of the aggressor country Russia occupied Makarivka, Sukhyi Yali and Zelenivka in Donetsk region.

The Khortytsia Security Service confirmed that Ukrainian servicemen lost some positions in the Kurakhiv direction.
