Russian Forces Push Deeper Into Ukraine’s Pokrovsk, Battle For ‘Gateway To Donetsk’ Intensifies | 4K

Russian forces pressed into Ukraine’s eastern towns of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad during this past week as Kyiv’s military mounted a strong defence. Russia sees Pokrovsk as a gateway to the remaining unoccupied parts of Donetsk, the region it has already claimed as its own in September 2022. As Ukrainians were gripped by a corruption scandal involving President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s allies, the battlefront was in a fluid state in which no side seemed to gain a decisive advantage. Both Russia and Ukraine often capture and recapture neighbourhoods and individual buildings from each other. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged the difficult situation around Pokrovsk. He has also said that Ukrainian forces are badly outnumbered. But he has shown no sign of ordering a retreat. n18oc_crux | n18oc_world
