The Russian Federation declared the full occupation of the Toretsk Donetsk region: what is known about the fate of the city

The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced the capture of the Toretsk forces of three motor -rifles and volunteers. The Ukrainian side spoke in the afternoon about the fighting for the settlement and the successful elimination of the invaders. On February 7, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on the capture of the city of Toretsk in Donetsk, but the Ukrainian side did not confirm it. Fighting for the settlement lasted since the summer of 2024.

According to the Russian side, Toretsk was allegedly occupied as a result of the offensive of the 1st, 9th and 132th Motorized Rifle brigades of the 51st Army of Russian troops, as well as the volunteer formation of "veterans". The Ukrainian military command did not confirm the loss of Toretsk.

Earlier today it was reported that the fighters of the Khizhak brigade and the Aeneas Battalion from the ranks of the National Police of Ukraine were undermined by the Russian Russians who were located in the houses. The Deep State Analysts team introduced a map where most of the Toretsk was under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or in the gray zone. There are also small areas on the outskirts that hold the Armed Forces.

According to Russian militarians, the Armed Forces control zone in the settlement has been limited to several houses in the outskirts of the private sector recently. There is no independent confirmation of this information. Recall that Toretsk officials have recently laid more than UAH 84 million to the maintenance of public administration in 2025. It is noteworthy that less than 1. 5 million hryvnias were provided for the support of displaced persons.
