The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces reported they’ve regained control of and raised the Ukrainian flag in Udachne, a village in Donetsk Oblast six miles west of Pokrovsk. 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇦
#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukrainian forces cleared Russian troops from the Donetsk Oblast village of Udachne and raised the Ukrainian flag in the settlement, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces reported on Sept. 2.
Udachne lies around 10 kilometers (6 miles) west of Pokrovsk, a strategic town that has become one of the fiercest front-line areas in Ukraine’s east.
The announcement comes only a day after the Ukrainian military reported the liberation of the nearby village of Novoekonomichne.
Soldiers of Ukraine’s 425th Skelia Regiment destroyed all Russian positions in the settlement, the General Staff said, sharing a video of a pair of Ukrainian soldiers raising the flag on top of a damaged building.
“For two weeks, assault units gradually cleared house after house and raised the Ukrainian flag over the village,” a military spokesperson said in the video.
The Ukrainian monitoring group DeepState showed that Russian forces were still holding the southern part of Udachne as of Sept. 1, with the northern part marked as a contested “gray” area.
