Quote: "Dear citizens! This morning, Russian propaganda outlets began spreading fake reports that the occupation army had supposedly captured the Hoptivka checkpoint.

Since this news is starting to gain public attention, I find it necessary to inform you that the occupiers did indeed launch an assault on this checkpoint. As a result, soldiers of the 58th Separate Motorised Infantry Brigade killed more than ten invaders, and dozens of others fled back to Russia."

Details: Zadorenko confirmed that the Hoptivka checkpoint remains fully under the control of the Ukrainian defence forces and thanked the fighters of the 58th Brigade.
