The 14th Ivan Bohun Operational Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard has dismissed allegations by Russian occupation forces that they have taken control of the village of Rodynske in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region. The brigade’s leadership has stated that the claim is a deliberate misinformation campaign intended to distort the reality of the ongoing conflict. In a recent statement, the brigade emphasized that the situation on the ground remains under the control of Ukrainian Defense Forces, denying any territorial losses in the area.
Such denials are common in the context of the war in Ukraine, where both sides often release conflicting reports regarding territorial gains and losses. The Ukrainian military has consistently maintained that it is regaining territory in the east, despite Russian claims to the contrary. The situation in Rodynske is particularly significant due to its strategic position near the Pokrovsk district, which has been a focal point of recent battles.
In an official statement, the 14th Ivan Bohun Operational Brigade confirmed that its forces are actively working to maintain control over all territories within the Donetsk region. The brigade has also called for continued international support for Ukraine’s defense efforts, highlighting the importance of securing these areas to ensure long-term stability and security for the region.
