BREAKING: Russia claim to have taken Ukraine’s Pavlivka in Donetsk Oblast

ACCORDING to reports coming out of Russia, Russian troops have reportedly captured Ukraine’s Pavlivka in Donetsk Oblast on Monday, November 14.

RUSSIAN state-controlled media outlet RIA reported that Russia has taken Ukraine’s Pavlivka in Donetsk Oblast.

The Russian Ministry of Defence reportedly told the news outlet: “On 14 November, as a result of fierce fighting, Russian troops completely liberated the village of Pavlovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic.”

Earlier this month, there had been reports that Ukrainian forces were engaged in battles with Russian troops in Pavlivka.

Mixed reports followed.

Some reports suggested that Ukraine had retreated while others said there were no Russian forces anyway in the region and had retreated themselves.
