MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Russian troops are advancing along the entire frontline in the Donbass region, Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin said on Monday.

"We see our units advancing actually on all the frontlines," the DPR head said during a live broadcast on the Rossiya-24 television channel.

Russian troops are making a major advance in the Kurakhovo area, he said.

"As soon as Kurakhovo is liberated and our forces move forward, the enemy’s artillery will have no capability to shell Donetsk, in particular, its Kirovsky district, which has been heavily bombarded over the past few months," Pushilin said.

Russian troops are fighting professionally, cutting the Ukrainian combat group in Kurakhovo off supplies and encircling the town, he added.
