In a stunning escalation, Russian forces are closing in on Pokrovsk, Ukraine’s critical gateway to Donetsk. According to reports, President Vladimir Putin is on the verge of achieving a major battlefield breakthrough as Ukraine’s elite drone unit “Peaky Blinders” warns of devastating losses. Russia has outmaneuvered Kyiv’s forces by targeting drone operators, destroying supply bridges, and cutting off key routes. The Russian Ministry of Defence claims complete control of multiple zones and the neutralisation of GUR operatives deployed by helicopter.
