Russia Forces Overwhelming Ukrainian Defenses at Pokrovsk
▪️Even pro-Ukrainian “Live UA Map” – a visual representation of Ukraine’s General Staff’s updates – shows Russian forces inside Pokrovsk;
▪️In less than a month Russian forces went from the perimeter to occupying parts of the central city and surrounding urban areas;
▪️Despite the map showing what looks like a partial encirclement, through long-range weapons, including drones, artillery, and missiles, Ukrainian positions have been operationally encircled for weeks if not longer;
▪️The loss of Pokrovsk will be catastrophic for Ukraine’s remaining defenses – as longer range and more numerous Russian drones are deployed in the area it will begin creating a similar operational encirclement for the remaining “defense belt” centered on Kramatorsk and Slavyansk;
▪️As Ukraine loses this pivotal defensive position in central Donetsk, it faces losing Lyman and Siversk further north which will put even more pressure on remaining positions;
