"According to my information, there is fighting in the area of Kurakhove. Among other things, Ukrainian positions are being held at the thermal power plant, which is part of Kurakhove, so we cannot say that Russian troops have taken the town completely. Although, of course, most of the town has been razed to rubble. This must be recognized," Tregubov said.
He noted that "since Ukrainian troops are still holding positions within the city limits, we cannot talk about any kind of withdrawal.
"The situation is complicated, let's not say that everything is easy, but I would not confirm Russian versions where it would be biased," Tregubov added.
