The Russian army has completely controlled the Red Army City coal mine area, which has been under attack since late September. This coal mine is located north of Khotyn and Udachne, and is the largest coal mine in Donetsk. It was once part of the assets of the Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov, and is now under Russian control, with all Ukrainian forces within the entire coal mine area having been cleared by the Russians. Russian media reported that the Russian army entered the mine management building in late September and successfully occupied the main ventilation shaft near Khotyn. However, to fully occupy the coal mine, the Russians needed to drive out the Ukrainian forces from other buildings within the coal mine area, which is why it took until now to achieve this goal.
