DONETSK, November 21. /TASS/. Russian forces have dislodged Ukrainian troops from a half of their positions in Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic, a source in defense circles told TASS on Thursday.

"In a half of Kurakhovo, the positions have been cleared of the enemy," the source said.

The Ukrainian military is attempting to move reserves to the city’s western outskirts as shown by data-recording equipment, the source said.

"They are arriving in small groups. A substantial part of them fails to reach the place of designation," the source added.
