The situation at the front

Russian troops are suffering heavy losses, but continue to intensively storm Ukrainian positions. Recently, the enemy announced the complete occupation of Velyka Novoselka in the Donetsk region.

In addition, the occupiers are gradually expanding their bridgehead on the west bank of the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region, British intelligence recently stated.

Also, one of the main goals of the Russian troops is currently the occupation of Pokrovsk. As recently reported by the "Khortytsia" military unit, the occupiers are not trying to storm the city, but intend to bypass it so as not to get involved in heavy urban battles.
