Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin that Russian forces have 'liberated' the town of Maryinka from Ukraine, following nine years of conflict that began with a civil war in 2014. Ukrainian sources have confirmed that Maryinka, located near Donetsk City, has returned to Russian control. However, reports and images reveal that the town, including the village of Novomikhailovka in the Donetsk region, has been totally destroyed, attributed to the constant attacks of the Russian army. Despite Russia's claim of control, Kyiv denies that the town has been seized.
