Situation at the front
As reported, Ukraine recently lost Sievierk in the Donetsk region. This was officially confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
However, Pokrovsk, Kupiansk, Myrnohrad, and Huliaipole remain under Kyiv's control, despite Russia’s false claims about the occupation of these cities. At the same time, the military acknowledges that the situation in these areas remains difficult.
As for Pokrovsk, the National Guard said Ukraine is redeploying units for a counterassault in the city, although weather conditions are significantly complicating combat operations.
It is also known that Russia's military command is misleading Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin about alleged successes at the front in order to retain their positions.
