Russia says its forces advance in ruins of Pokrovsk, Ukraine says defenders hold on
Russian forces control about 60% of Pokrovsk, aiming to secure a key logistics hub for further advances in Donetsk, the most significant gain since early 2024, analysts said.
- On Monday, Russia announced advances in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, and the Russian Defence Ministry said its forces entered the Prigorodny area while destroying surrounded Ukrainian formations and striking military targets.
- Pokrovsk is a key transport and logistics hub targeted for over a year, and its capture would give Moscow a platform to advance north toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
- Monitors show Russian forces control approximately 60% of Pokrovsk and 81% of the Donetsk region, while DeepState reports infiltrations by elements from a 170,000 grouping.
- Ukraine's military said Russian troops did not fully control any district of Pokrovsk, while Kyiv announced on Saturday it deployed special forces and the 7th Rapid Response Corps thwarted a supply route cut from Rodynske.
- Analysts say Russian military tactics use a pincer movement and small units and drones to disrupt Ukrainian logistics before reinforcements arrive, while DeepState notes troops entrenching with firing positions.
