The eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk has become the focal point of intense fighting as Russian forces, numbering up to 170,000 troops, attempt to encircle and capture the strategic hub.
Ukrainian defenders, including elite special forces, have been deployed to hold the city and protect vital supply lines, with reports of street battles and heavy casualties on both sides. Russia claims to control significant portions of Pokrovsk, but Ukraine insists its troops are still resisting and conducting counter-operations. The fall of Pokrovsk would open the way for further Russian advances in the Donetsk region and highlight Ukraine's growing manpower challenges.
The situation remains critical, with both sides suffering heavy losses and the outcome uncertain.
