SKEPTICISM ON FRONT LINES

Ukrainian soldiers near Pokrovsk remain skeptical of peace talks as fighting intensifies and recruitment struggles persist after three years of conflict, officials say.

  • On Friday, Russian fire roared every minute for hours near Pokrovsk as U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline coincided with intensified shelling, amid soldiers' skepticism over peace talks.
  • Amid months of unmet commitments, Ukrainian soldiers say peace talks feel distant and unlikely to end the war, citing broken promises and suggestions of territory swapping.
  • Amid ongoing shelling, Ukrainian soldiers of the Spartan brigade push through drills around Pokrovsk while reports of Russian saboteurs emerge almost daily but are neutralized.
  • With defenses strained, the Ukrainian army faces recruitment shortfalls as Pokrovsk, which had a population of about 60,000, endures months of assault.
  • Despite diplomatic overtures, front-line troops say nothing on the Eastern Front suggests the fighting could end soon, and peace talks feel distant.
