Russia SHIFTS Pokrovsk Offensive & Creates CRISIS For Ukraine

The Ukrainian incursion into #Kursk has largely stalled while things continue to worsen in Donetsk. Ukrainian media were optimistic at the fact that the Russian advance toward #Porkrovsk seemed to have slowed after the rapid movement from #Ocheretyne to #Novohrodivka. However, that jubilation is short lived. Russians, likely realising their advance was too rapid and that the bulge they created from #Avdiivka to Pokrovsk was too thin and amenable to a counterattack, decided to switch direction and focus on its southern flank. This move combined with an advance toward #Kurkahove has put 4 combat-ready Ukrainian brigades in a possible encirclement. Should Russia capture #Ukrainsk, the situation could be dire for Ukraine, who is already suffering manpower shortages and can't afford to lose anymore.
