Russians break through main defense lines east of Pokrovsk

Russians break through main defense lines east of Pokrovsk, - Bild “Just a few days after capturing two villages in the east, Russian troops have entered Novogrodovka and are advancing through the former city of 14,000 in the Donetsk region. Another sign that there is no longer a fortified Ukrainian defense line east of Pokrovsk,“ writes Bild military analyst Julian Röpke. He also says that the Russians no longer need to raze Ukrainian positions in urban areas to capture cities, because the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have enough personnel. “Russia no longer needs to raze cities to the ground before storming them with its troops. The defenses are simply too weak for that. “Because of the speed of your own advance, you can no longer do that,“ Röpke said, citing a video of a battle with a Ukrainian tank in Novogrodovka.
