 Ukrainian defenders liberate Eurasian. Hanomalia, deputy defence minister of Ukraine, has reported that Ukrainian defenders have liberated the village of Eurasian in Donetsk Oblast. Eurasian has been liberated. Our defenders are consolidating their positions. The offensive continues, she added. In a separate statement, the land forces of the Ukrainian armed forces said that Russia made unsuccessful attempts to restore its lost positions near Eurasian and conducted airstrikes in the region during the past day. The village of Donetsk region is part of a cluster of small, rural settlements that Ukraine has declared liberated since early June when it started a push against Russian troops who control swathes of the south and east. The village's recapture would indicate Ukraine is pressing ahead with an offensive drive south towards the Sea of Azov that aims to cut Russian occupying forces in half. Eurasian lies just 90 kilometres from the Sea of Azov. Last month, Ukraine claimed that it recaptured the village of Staromeosk west of Eurasian. Andrey Kovalev, spokesman for the general staff of Ukraine's armed forces, said Ukraine's defence forces were continuing to conduct offensive operations on the Bakhmut, Melitopol and Burdiansk fronts. Kovalev said the Ukrainian soldiers are using artillery to fire on detected Russian targets and are carrying out counter-battery operations. Ukrainian defence ministry has been reporting the successes near Eurasian for several days in a row.
