The Russian General Staff reported a breakthrough in Donetsk: the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the statement

The chief general of the Russian army reported to Putin about some 'breakthroughs' in Donetsk. However, the Ukrainian military says this is not true. Our guys are holding the defense and are not allowing the enemy to advance to Lyman. Recently, the Russians attempted to break into the city, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully held them back or captured them. They also found a Russian who betrayed the positions of the Ukrainians, and now he is in our captivity. The Russian troops have not captured any Ukrainian regions, so Gerasimov is just telling Putin fairy tales about his achievements.

Recent events in the war

Recently, information emerged that the Russians had already captured Pokrovsk. However, the Ukrainian General Staff assured that the city still remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The situation there is complicated, but our troops are holding the defense and maintaining the northern part of the city near the railway. So the fight continues.
