Rumors about Yampil
On September 28, Russian forces claimed they were advancing in the village of Yampil in the Donetsk region.
The 11th Army Corps stressed that such rumors were another attempt by Russia to spread panic and misinform the population.
The military assured that the village remains under Ukrainian control and that all saboteurs are eliminated in time.
By October 4, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi stated that the situation in the village area had stabilized, and Ukrainian defenders were eliminating the remaining saboteurs inside the settlement.
