The press service of the Third Army Corps reported the information on Telegram.The Third Army Corps claims that the statement by the Russian military leadership is another manipulation."The command of the 20th Army and the Russian Defense Ministry announced the alleged capture of the settlements of Stavky and Novoselivka in the area of responsibility of the 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Third Army Corps. And this is another information manipulation," the statement says.The Ukrainian military noted that the enemy is using an old tactic - infiltrating separate groups into the area of settlements not under their control in order to film staged videos with the tricolor, simulate alleged control, and present losses as successes.Each of these groups is systematically destroyed by Ukrainian units, but the commanders of the Russian 20th Army continue to report fabricated achievements to satisfy the higher command."The 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade, together with adjacent units, continues to firmly hold the occupied lines in the Donetsk region. And there are no grounds to announce the 'capture' of the settlements of Stavky and Novoselivka!" stated brigade commander Dmytro Rohoziuk.The Ukrainian Defense Forces have completed an operation in the Dobropillia direction, which allowed them to stabilize the situation around Pokrovsk and restrain the enemy's plans for further advance.
