Ukrainian forces pushing Russians out of Horlivka — Zelenskyy
Ukraine’s 24th King Danylo Separate Mechanized Brigade has successfully liberated part of Horlivka, Donetsk Oblast, held by the enemy since 2014, according to President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.
“Now, our flag proudly waves over the [free] territory. Horlivka is Ukraine! Donbas is Ukraine!” Zelenskyy said.
Reports that the occupiers were preparing to retreat towards the Horlivka-Bakhmut highway have surfaced since October.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces had reported pushing Russians out of dominant heights on the Horlivka front in August.
Citing anonymous sources, Time magazine reported in early October that the Ukrainian authorities had demanded the liberation of Horlivka, but the military responded that its resources were insufficient.
As of Dec. 12, Russians are launching offensives on various fronts, including Avdiivka and Maryinka directions, while Ukrainian Armed Forces are holding their positions in Kupyansk, Bakhmut, and Lyman directions.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
