Russia has amassed 110,000 troops near strategic Ukrainian city, Kyiv says
- On Friday, Ukraine's military chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that Russia amassed 110,000 troops near the strategic city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine.
- This troop buildup follows nearly a year of Russian attempts to capture Pokrovsk, aimed at seizing Donetsk and Luhansk as declared by Putin.
- Ukrainian forces disrupted Russia's original frontal assault plan by integrating drone operations and resisting encirclement from south and northeast approaches.
- Syrskyi called Pokrovsk the 'hottest spot' on the 1,200-kilometre front line, where Moscow continues assaults using small fireteams and light vehicles.
- Although Russia holds numerical advantages, Ukrainian defenses have so far prevented Pokrovsk's fall, maintaining control over key eastern defense points.
