Fighters of the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade continue to successfully repulse Russian attacks in the direction of Vugledar, according to a post on Twitter, while another user of the social network commented: “Russian tank with fire runs from the front in Vugledar.”

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this week that Russian troops are preparing for a “covert mobilization” in eastern Donetsk region.

In recent days, the Russian military has stepped up its attacks in eastern and southern Ukraine, claiming victories around the besieged city of Bakhmut and near Vugledar.

Thus, Vugledar will become a new hot spot on the Ukrainian front, although Ukraine denied on Monday that Russian troops are advancing, as Moscow claims, near the town of Vugledar.
