Russians Conquer a Dozen Settlements in a Week – In Eastern Donetsk, Northern Kharkov and Southern Zaporozhie – Moscow Forces Encircle Key Ukrainian Stronghold Pokrovsk (VIDEOS)
The pression is ongoing all over the 740-mile-long frontline, and a cursory look reveals that a dozen new settlements were conquered by Russian forces since July 11.
In the all-important Eastern Donetsk region, we have Zelenaya Dolina, Karlo-Marksovo, Nikolaevka, Mayak, Petrovka, Voskresenka, Novokhatskoye and Popov Yar.
Besides that, Sobolevka and Degtyarnoye in the northern Kharkov region, as well as Malinovka and Kamenskoye in the southern Zaporozhye region were also conquered.
Once again, that may come across like a meaningless list of Slavic names, but just by glancing at the territorial results of a week, we see that this is no stalemate, and even calling it ‘incremental advances’ seems inappropriate.
Russian Ministry of Defense says over 8,000 Ukrainian troops were killed during the week – further adding to Kiev regime’s main problem: lack of troops.
