The Russian Defense Ministry reported that it had established control over the town of Rivne in the Donetsk People's Republic. This operation is part of large-scale actions by the Russian army aimed at strengthening its positions in the area and improving the operational situation at the front.
The occupation of Rivnepil is of strategic importance, since this settlement is located in close proximity to important transport hubs, which opens up opportunities for further advancement and allows control of routes leading deep into the territory.
