Russland macht vor Trump-Putin Summit plötzlich voran, wie Karten zeigen

Russian forces have broken through Ukrainian defenses north of Pokrovsk

Over two days, they advanced 13 km. Strong defensive structures in this area were nearly empty due to a severe shortage of Ukrainian personnel.

Additionally, Ukrainian command prefers to defend positions using drones rather than infantry, resulting in Russian troops capturing bunkers and trenches that are empty or nearly empty for several weeks.

Analysts say the situation on this front segment is critical for Ukraine: there is a catastrophic lack of personnel, and disorganized retreats are leading to Russian breakthroughs.
