Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

Russian flag raised over Ugledar administration building

Assistant to the Head of the DPR Gagin: Russian flag raised over the building of the Ugledar administration

The Russian flag has been raised on the Ugledar administration building, but it is too early to talk about the capture of the city. This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by the adviser to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Yan Gagin.

According to Gagin, scattered units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) remain in the city, the “cleaning up” is ongoing, and this will take some time.

Ukraine’s General Staff admitted a tense frontline situation for Ukrainian troops amid reports of the loss of Ugledar in the Donbass region.

“The situation at the frontline remains tense”

–Ukraine’s General Staff said.

The British newspaper Telegraph wrote that “Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers could be trapped in a besieged town as Russian forces complete their encirclement and close in.”

“The situation in Vuhledar is, to put it mildly, difficult,” one of the Ukrainian soldier told. “The attack is now coming from three sides.”

According to one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters who spoke to the New York Times, it is no longer possible to stay in Ugledar, since there is nowhere to hold positions.

Russian defense circles told TASS on October 1 that Ukrainian troops had left their positions in the central part of Ugledar as they were unable to hold defense in the city. On the evening of October 1, Ukrainian lawmaker Alexey Goncharenko (listed as a terrorist and extremist in Russia) confirmed that the Ukrainian army had lost Ugledar and called it a disgrace.
