On Jan. 11, the DeepState reported that another Ukrainian city in Donetsk Oblast, Kurakhove, had been fully occupied by Russian troops.
The report was later refuted by Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Khortytsia troop grouping, who said that the Kurajhove Thermal Power Plant, located within the city limits, was still under the Ukrainian forces' control.
