Ukrainian troops 'start surrendering' in key city but Kyiv says situation 'dynamic'
- On Saturday, Ukraine's army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said the situation in Pokrovsk remained hardest as forces try to push Russian troops out, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged some Russian units had infiltrated the city.
- Reports say Russia deployed 170,000 troops in Donetsk to seize Pokrovsk and capture Donbas' industrial heartland, advancing toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
- Ukraine is mounting a comprehensive operation using UAV operators and assault units to cut Russian logistics, with Ukraine's military intelligence striking the 250-mile Koltsevoy pipeline late on Friday for a serious blow.
- Kyiv says the situation is difficult and dynamic, denying encirclement as the Russian defence ministry posted videos of two Ukrainian troops surrendering and reported civilian casualties in Mykolaiv.
- Amid broader concern, officials warned that Kyiv still controls about 10% of Donbas, highlighting what remains at stake in the region.
