I have found the article but it's in Polish. I also have no idea how reputable source this is, they seem very good on the first glance. There are some website writing about 'military' that are basically right wing trash or propaganda or conspiracies (or all of the above).
The hole was apparently not clean through because the original armor and extra layer and reactive armor installed during 'modernisations' did it job and protected the tank and the crew, it just now has this horribly looking hole in it so the Ukrainian crew abandoned it and separatists took it. This is a tank from the 60s, modernised in the 80s, by the way.

English Wikipedia also mentions 65 T-64s variants have been captured in Donbas (but the link is to a Russian website and I read Russian way too slowly and need a dictionary to do it so I can't confirm the citation):
