New Delhi: There is war on many fronts in the world. On one hand, Israel is attacking four countries simultaneously, while on the other hand, the war between Russia and Ukraine is going on since February 2022. Russian troops have captured the city of Kevkhledar in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine. This city is very important in many ways in the political era. The Ukrainian army and Russian channels gave this information.
Why is Vuhledaar important?
Vuhledar is strategically very important for both Ukraine and Russia. This city has faced the most fighting in the last two years. Ukraine wanted to retain control over it and Russia wanted to take it under its control.
Actually, this city is situated at a very high altitude, the country which will capture this city will be strategically dominant. This city was working as a fortress for Ukraine till now.
There are two coal mines in Vuhledar, which have substantial coal reserves. Before the war, more than 15,000 miners lived here, but after the war between Russia and Ukraine, they fled to save their lives.
The city of Vuhledar is very close to a railway line between Crimea and the industrial region of Donbass, making it easier for Russia to supply its troops and supplies to them. Control over this city can also increase Russia's military capabilities in other areas.
How did Russia capture Vuhledar?
The Russian army had laid siege to the city to capture Vuhledar, due to which the Ukrainian soldiers were not able to get any kind of help or essential supplies. In this situation, it became difficult for the Ukrainian army to defend itself and rotate its soldiers.
Ukraine's 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade resisted strongly and gave a befitting reply. In the end, the Ukrainian soldiers had to retreat. However, Wuhledar, which looked very beautiful before the war, has been destroyed. There is rubble all around.
