On September 26, Ukraine's 72nd Mechanized Brigade posted a video from Vuhledar, denying claims that it was retreating from this town in Donetsk region.
“We are the soldiers of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade. I want to dispel all doubts and the pseudo-experts' thoughts that the 72nd Brigade withdrew from Vuhledar," said a Ukrainian soldier. "Despite heavy assaults and difficult circumstances, we are still there. Today is September 26, 2024. Glory to Ukraine.”
On September 25, it was reported that Russian forces continue assaulting the town of Vuhledar, with the situation described as “steadily tense.”
The 72nd Mechanized Brigade has been defending Vuhledar for nearly two years, as Russian forces have attempted to seize it since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022.
