MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Capturing the village of Platonovka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) allows Russian troops to fully control the Seversk-Krasny Liman road, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
"The liberation of the village northwest of Siversk enables Russian military units to fully control the Seversk-Krasny Liman road, depriving the enemy of a vital logistics route, and significantly complicating the predicament for Ukrainian troops in the city," the ministry said in a statement.
