Russian forces intensify attacks around Pokrovsk, Ukraine’s army warns
Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, reported a sharp rise in Russian activity around Pokrovsk, calling the situation “difficult.” He denied claims that Ukrainian troops were surrounded, calling them Russian propaganda. Syrskyi said Russian infantry is amassing in the city, avoiding direct combat, and that the army’s key focus is identifying and destroying them while protecting soldiers’ lives.
Pokrovsk, a key logistics hub in Donetsk, has become Russia’s main target as it seeks to advance toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. President Zelensky said Russian forces there outnumber Ukrainians eight to one and want to capture the town to show the U.S. that Ukraine is losing ground.
Analysts from Sybelline warned that the battle has entered an “intense and dynamic phase,” with Ukrainian monitors saying Pokrovsk is “gradually being engulfed” by Russian troops.
