Quote: "Reports claiming that the enemy has seized Bondarne do not correspond to reality.

Bondarne and Nykyforivka remain under the control of Ukraine's defence forces."

Details: The group reported that its units are holding defensive positions near the settlements of Nykyforivka and Bondarne on the Kramatorsk front.

Russian forces are attempting to advance in the area, but effective coordination between reconnaissance units and operators of attack drones is reported to be preventing any breakthroughs.

Meanwhile, DeepState, a Ukrainian group of military analysts, marked Bondarne as occupied on its interactive map of the hostilities as of 11 February.

Ukrainian forces are also continuing active operations in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad urban area.

Ukrainian defenders control the northern part of Pokrovsk, where operations to locate, assault and wipe out Russian forces are ongoing in urban areas.

Russian units attempting to concentrate in the southern part of the city are being subjected to systematic strikes.

Operational Group Skhid (East) added that in Myrnohrad, Ukrainian troops are holding designated defensive lines. Russian forces are increasing pressure on the northern part of the city and are trying to build up heavy equipment and personnel for a potential assault.

Background: On 10 February, DeepState reported that Russian forces had captured Bondarne and advanced in Nykyforivka in Donetsk Oblast.
