JAKARTA - Russian troops claim control of Toretsk's strategic coal mining city in eastern Ukraine.
As reported by Reuters on Friday, February 7, Russia said the city had a population of around 30,000 people before the war, with the Soviet era Dzerzhinsk.
Russia's Defense Ministry claims the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine, where the city is located, is now part of Russia.
Ukrainian military analysts say seizing Toretsk, which is on the highlands, could make it even more difficult for Russian troops to logisticalize Ukrainian troops in most parts of the east.

Russian troops can move forward to the northwest towards the Kostitynivka regional logistics center, which is connected to several major cities.
Most of Toretsk's civilians have long fled or been evacuated and many buildings in the city were destroyed or badly damaged.
