The Ukrainian armed forces on Thursday stormed the village of Logvinovo, a key point on the Artemivsk-Debaltseve highway that was occupied earlier by Russian-backed militants, Donbas Battalion Commander Semen Semenchenko has written on his page on Facebook.
According to Semenchenko, there is still some minor resistance in some areas that is now being suppressed.
The Donbas battalion is conducting a security sweep in the village and the surrounding area of the highway, Semenchenko said.
Ukrainian forces are battling to relieve a group of Ukrainian soldiers in Debaltseve, a key strategic town that has been under constant attack by Russian-backed militants for more than a week. The town is a rail and road transport hub, and an important objective for both sides.
