Russian forces are staging their heaviest assaults near the strategic eastern city of Pokrovsk, Kyiv's military said Monday, threatening a key supply route for Ukrainian troops struggling to fend off Moscow's 29-month-old invasion.

Pokrovsk, a transport hub with a pre-war population of 61,000, lies on a main road that serves as an important supply route to other embattled Ukrainian-held outposts, such as the towns of Chasiv Yar and Kostiantynivka.

Russia's defense ministry said Sunday that its forces had taken the villages of Prohres and Yevhenivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. Both settlements sit east of Pokrovsk.

Can’t wait until Harris/Biden make some absurd deal giving more billions to the Ukes and claiming Trump can’t back out of it…ever.

If you channeled even one percent of the Putin hate towards our domestic enemies that would be a great step forward.

It appears that the line of contact is still about 10-15 miles east of Pokrovsk. Westward encroachment by Russia has been relentless but slow in the area. However under-manned, Ukrainian defense seems to be putting up a stubborn fight.

Russians press towards Kiev…. Or better yet Germans press toward Antwerp

The head line is at best disingenuous

Curious what the Moscow signing bonus will be in 6 months

Pokrovsk is but a 152mm lob from the Russian positions.

They can put 100 guns on it.

Few if any defenders will survive.

Neither of your distractions were in the Headline or the Text of the article, they are only in your mind.

Your post is at best disingenuous.

Disagree, “pressing” towards a target 10-15 miles away when you are making 10s of meters per day if that is disingenuous headline
