Russian Forces Bypass Key Stronghold to Cut Off Supplies, Says Ukrainian Officer

Kyiv: So, it looks like Russian forces are trying a new tactic. Instead of going head-to-head with the stronghold in Pokrovsk, they’re trying to cut off its supplies. A Ukrainian officer shared this news, saying they’re focusing on a key highway that connects Pokrovsk to Dnipro.

This highway is super important for getting supplies to Ukrainian troops in the area. If the Russians manage to block it, it could really hurt the defenses in Pokrovsk. But so far, they haven’t succeeded, and Ukrainian forces are working hard to keep it that way.

The situation is pretty tense along the front lines, especially in the eastern Donetsk region. Ukrainian troops are feeling the pressure, and they’re outnumbered. Even though the Russians are making some progress, it’s been slow and costly for them.

President Zelenskyy mentioned that the fighting around Pokrovsk has been the most intense lately. Meanwhile, Putin seems to be pushing his advantage, especially with the upcoming arrival of President-elect Trump in the U.S. Trump has hinted at wanting to end the war quickly, but we don’t know much about his plans yet.

It’s been almost three years since the war started, and the situation remains complicated. Russia has taken control of some areas, but they don’t fully control any of the regions they’ve annexed. It’s a tough battle for both sides, and the stakes are high.
