Russia’s forces have fully captured the strategic hilltop town of Vuhledar in eastern Ukraine.
The Mining town,Vuhledar has been a supply hub for both sides. This town has been a target since the full scale invasion of Russia’s forces begun.
Ukraine's 72nd Mechanised Brigade has kept the coal-mining town under control for nearly two years however on wednesday, Ukraine’ military confirmed that they are withdrawing from the town. They associated this reasoned this decision with “ Protecting the personnel”
The withdrawal news came after governor of Donetsk informed that russian troops has reached the centre of Vuhledar. Donetsk itself was annexed by russian forces in 2022.
The exact number of casualties is unknown, but it's believed that the withdrawal may have helped prevent greater losses.
The town itself is not in a good condition since it has been hit repeatedly for almost 2 years now.
Why is Vuhledar important?
The location of the town is quite strategic considering that it is between the southern and eastern fronts. This means that controlling the town’s defenses will give an upper hand over the surrounding areas as well.
The town’s proximity to roads and railways further adds to its strategic importance, enabling easier transport of military supplies and troops.
What will happen now?
With the new advancement of Russia in the region, there could be several steps taken by Moscow in order to weaken Ukraine.
Considering Vuhledar’s location, Russia may disrupt the supply routes, cutting Ukraine's chances of getting supplies for the eastern and southern fronts. This may result in Ukraine not being able to provide for its troops, weakening their defenses. While Kyiv faces these problems, Russia will have the upper hand and be able to strengthen its position on these two fronts. It may not be a priority for Moscow now, but considering the town is a coal-mining place, this could also benefit the country.
