NextFin news, Ukrainian defense forces, including units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard's 1st Azov Corps, liberated the village of Pankivka and adjacent territories from Russian forces on Monday on the Dobropillya front in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine.
The operation was a result of coordinated efforts by Ukrainian units in the area of responsibility of the 1st Azov Corps, according to a statement published on the official Telegram channel of the Azov Corps and reported by Ukrainska Pravda and UNIAN news agencies.
