US EditionRussia Moves in on Pokrovsk in What Would Be Huge Win in Ukraine War
POKROVSK, DONETSK REGION, UKRAINE, JUL 22 – Russian forces entered Pokrovsk, a key logistics hub in eastern Ukraine, prompting Ukrainian counterattacks against saboteurs amid intense fighting and over 111,000 Russian troops in the area.
- Russian forces entered the frontline city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine's Donetsk region on July 22, escalating intense fighting in this strategic hub.
- The incursion followed earlier Russian advances south and east of Pokrovsk, pressing toward encirclement amid strained Ukrainian defenses.
- Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi and analyst Emil Kastehelmi noted that Russian gains on Pokrovsk’s eastern flank threaten defense stability despite Ukrainian resistance.
- Less than 1,500 mostly elderly residents remain as food supplies dwindle and authorities struggle to evacuate civilians amid worsening conditions.
- The fall of Pokrovsk would bolster Russia’s control over Donetsk, complicate Ukrainian resupply routes, and support Moscow’s broader war aims despite ongoing peace talks in Istanbul.
