"During active offensive actions, units of the 'Southern' military group fully liberated the city of Kurakhove", - the russian Ministry of Defense stated on Telegram on January 6.
The occupying authority claimed that this is "the largest populated area in the southwestern part of Donbas".
There is currently no official information from the Ukrainian side regarding Kurakhove.
Previously, a day earlier, citing Ukrainian military journalist Bohdan Myroshnykov, it was reported that in Kurakhove "the city's residential area is under enemy control, with only the industrial zone remaining under the Ukrainian control".
