In recent days, the situation on the battlefield has intensified further. According to The New York Times, the Russian army managed to breach Ukraine’s defensive line in the area around Pokrovsk. Sources report that gaps in the defense have allowed Russian troops to advance several kilometers deeper.
Strategically important road under threat
The Financial Times notes that this offensive could cut off the crucial road linking Dobropillia and Kramatorsk. The outlet described it as one of Russia’s most significant military gains of the year.
Ukrainian army sending reinforcements
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has assessed the situation in the Dobropillia and Pokrovsk sectors as difficult. Kyiv’s command is currently forced to send additional troops and equipment to this section of the front.
Control over Lunacharske
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced full control over the village of Lunacharske (Fedorivka), located northeast of Pokrovsk. This provides an opportunity to expand the offensive direction and gain new tactical advantages.
According to military analysts, the situation around Pokrovsk in the coming weeks could have a serious impact on the overall strategy on the Donbas front. Supporters and political observers are closely watching how these events will unfold.
