      *July 31 (Reuters) – Russia said on Thursday it had captured the town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after nearly 16 months of* [*fighting*](https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-russia-war/)*, opening the way for potential further advances.Russia’s Defence Ministry said in a brief statement its forces had “liberated” the town. A Ukrainian military spokesperson called the claim “propaganda”, but a video posted by a Russian military unit and verified by Reuters showed a Russian paratroop banner and the national flag being raised by soldiers in the desolate ruins of the town.*

      *Russia has been slowly grinding forward in eastern Ukraine as talks to end the 3-1/2 year war have failed to make progress towards a ceasefire, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to* [*threaten new sanctions*](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-says-russia-faces-tariffs-10-days-if-no-progress-ending-ukraine-war-2025-07-29/) *on Russia and buyers of its exports from next week.Moscow’s forces are also mounting intense pressure on the city of Pokrovsk, 60 km (37 miles) southwest of Chasiv Yar.Military analyst Emil Kastehelmi, co-founder of the Finland-based Black Bird Group, said it was likely that battles were continuing near Chasiv Yar.*

      *”The terrain of Chasiv Yar has favoured the defender. Forested areas, waterways, hills and a varied building stock have enabled Ukraine to conduct a defensive operation lasting over a year, in which the Russians have made minimal monthly progress,” he told Reuters.*

      *Kastehelmi said it was likely that the town’s fall, if confirmed, would create conditions for Russia to advance further in eastern Ukraine, but still only gradually.”The fall of the city to the enemy is nevertheless a challenging situation for Ukraine, as it will bring the Russians closer to Kostiantynivka, which Russia is now approaching from several directions,” he said.”The logistics in the area will also be affected, as Russians can bring drone teams even closer.*

      *”The battle for Chasiv Yar began in April last year, when Russian paratroopers reached its eastern edge. Russian state media reported then that Russian soldiers had begun phoning their Ukrainian counterparts inside the town to demand they surrender or be wiped out by aerial guided bombs.The town, now destroyed, had a pre-war population of more than 12,000 and its economy was based around a factory that produced reinforced concrete products and clay used in* [*bricks.It*](http://bricks.It) *lies just west of Bakhmut, which Russia captured in 2023 after one of the bloodiest battles of the war.*

      16 months to take what now is a mountain of gravel and ruins. Good job.

      To give you an idea of the scale of the resistance, let me remind you that the second army in the world spent 16 months trying to capture a city with a population of 15,000.

      Chasiv Yar served its purpose. The defenders there did a magnificent job stalling Russia

      At this rate, it will take… 100 years for Russia to conquer Ukraine.

      Russia may have sacrificed an immense amount of time and manpower to capture a small town, but they are gaining territory while Ukraine is not. That should alarm people instead of bring up mockery about how ineffective they are.

      Everyone, repeat with me: chasiv yar was not strategically important anyway.

      Thanks. Pokrovsk’s next

      Chasiv Yar has not been captured. The Russians are increasingly doing “flag-raising” propaganda actions to deceive idiots.

      They send two or three men through the lines into the rear under darkness to raise a flag that can be photographed or filmed by a drone, to claim captures. As soon as the Ukrainians spot them they get obliterated by artillery or FPVs. It’s a one-way suicide mission.

      That is what has happened here.

      Whats with the crazy amount of Russian bots in this thread

      Chasiv Yar is 6km from Bakhmut. It took over 2 years to go 6km.

      Russia forgets its own history, and it seems to have trouble learning from it. In 1812, Napoleon conquered Moscow. War won, right? not really. He lost the fucking thing. Now Russia declares this win (take it with a bag of salt) at what cost? It’s just another step for them to lose the war.

      While it always sucks to see Ukraine losing towns, this war will not be determined by territory. Even if worse case scenario happens and Ukraine loses Pokrovsk, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, the war will not end there. The side who will win is the one who can fight the longest. While Ukraine has less manpower that russia, they are fighting for the idea of their independence and survival of their nation as a whole. No russian force is enough to defeat Ukraine. russia has nothing to fight for, nothing to win in this war. Russia will lose, and defeat is inevitable.
