Background
Vasiukivka is a village in Soledar urban hromada, Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, north of Bakhmut. Russia's Defence Ministry said its Southern group of forces had taken it, in a weekly summary the Russian outlet Profile published on 28 November 2025.
A village of the same name lies in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, so the raion matters when the name appears in front-line reports.
