Russian forces have made gains towards the Donetsk city, but Ukrainian troops are fighting back, the Institute for the Study of War has said.
Ukrainian forces have recaptured positions previously seized by Russia near Pokrovsk, as Moscow continues its push to capture the city in the Donetsk oblast, the Institute for the Study of War said, providing a map showing the state of play.Russia has been pushing an offensive towards the city, which is a critical road and rail hub used to supply Kyiv-held outposts in the region in the east of Ukraine.
The ISW described how Russian forces had resumed attacks in the Donetsk-Zaporizhzhia Oblast border area where they have made gains, although this doesn't seem to be part of a larger offensive to support the wider Russian operation.Russian and Ukrainian sources said that over the weekend elements of Russia's 336th Naval Infantry Brigade and the 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment had launched assaults near Levadne that broke through Ukrainian defenses.
