Source: Strategic Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The Strategic Command of the Ukrainian army refuted the information published on June 23 by analysts of the DeepState project about the complete capture by the Russians of the village of Novooleksandrivka in the Pokrovsk direction.

‘The specified information regarding the complete occupation by the enemy of the settlement of Novooleksandrivka does not correspond to reality,’ the statement says.

The Armed Forces emphasized that a large part of Novooleksandrivka is occupied by the Russians, but not all of it. Intense fighting is going on in the streets.

The settlement is under the fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all measures are being taken to drive the occupiers from there.

The army command calls on the media not to spread unverified information and use official sources of information.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.

Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.

A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
