The Russian Defense Ministry claimed Tuesday it had taken the Ukrainian town of Selydove, southeast of the key city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region.
Russian forces have been advancing on Selydove in the last several weeks, according to frontline reports. It’s part of Russia’s ongoing assault and incremental territorial gains in eastern Ukraine. Selydove was an important staging area for Ukraine’s defenses and a key foothold to prevent Russia’s advance toward Pokrovsk. Ukrainian authorities have not yet commented on Russia’s claims of control.
“Most likely, they want to keep the town as a foothold for themselves in the future. Selydove is a large town where you can accommodate a large number of people and hide equipment.” Video released by Russian state media TASS on Tuesday reportedly shows troops raising the Russian flag in Selydove. Russia also continued aerial assaults on Ukrainian cities overnight into Tuesday.
