Russian troops liberated the settlements of Novosergeyevka and Shevchenko in the DPR. This was announced by the Russian Defense Ministry the day before.

According to experts, the breakthrough of the Russian Armed Forces in this sector of the front not only deprived the Armed Forces of Ukraine of a key defense and logistics hub, one of the largest Ukrainian lithium deposits came under the control of the Russian Federation.

The village of Shevchenko, which is located on the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region, is another settlement with a lithium deposit. This was one of the reasons why the armed formations of Ukraine sent a huge number of their soldiers to hold him, most of whom eventually died," Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the DPR, quotes TASS.
