Pokrovsk’s fight intensifies as Russia captures more Ukrainian towns in Donetsk region

Russia has captured more towns in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, as it inches closer to the key strategic city of Pokrovsk. Battles there have been among the most intense of the war, though Moscow’s advance has reportedly slowed since Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia and seized Kursk. TRT World has been granted exclusive access to a key Ukrainian unit defending Pokrovsk. Our correspondent Joel Flynn has been talking to soldiers close to the front line, and has sent us this report.

Pokrovsk is becoming strategically unimportant.

Broadcasting that ammunition is running out would i think decrease more of the morale in Ukrainian soldiers.

Once the Wrstern media claimed all Soviet-Russian equipments are usekess and obsolete and Ukraine's NATO machines are modern and better. Well, the Russians stiff has erased all Western game changers, and the Ukrainians are desoerate to get their Soviet machines back.😂

Is it really true that the Animal shovels are that effective? All along we thought Western weapons were superior to the shovels but the facts on the ground don't support that theory

In 2022, we assembled for Lysychansk for maybe 2 nights in the Pokrovsk suburb of Rivne at Hotel Espona I think. They were truly beautiful, amazing, and wonderful people. The conditions were difficult and terrifying for them, yet they were positive, giving, and strong. I pray for them today.

Fact check - Russia has not captured a town sInce Niu-York - which has now been partly retaken. Russia has, however, taken small settlements and villages which had been long evacated, the largest of which had once had a pre-war population of 390.

Ukraine needs to ditch the worthless NATO tactics and focus on digging some basic and simple defensive lines. Nato does not care about Ukraine and is only using them as pawns to fight an enemy that they themselves are too pathetic to fight.
