MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian troops have liberated the village of Semyonovka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), the Ministry of Defense announced.
"Units of the Tsentr Battlegroup, as a result of active operations, liberated the settlement of Semyonovka in the Donetsk People's Republic," the ministry said.

The liberation of Semyonovka allows Russian troops to encircle the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) around the village of Berdychi. Along the Tonenkoye-Orlovka-Semyonovka-Berdychi line, Ukrainian forces attempted to establish a unified defensive line after the liberation of Avdeyevka to gain time to build stronger fortifications in the western DPR.

The Tsentr battlegroup also defeated the formations of the 68th infantry, 23rd, 115th mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade, and mercenaries of the "Foreign Legion" in the areas of the villages of Novoaleksandrovka, Arkhangelskoye, Tarasovka and Zavetnoye.
