While the frontline remains largely unchanged, the situation at Pokrovsk is more critical as Russian forces have launched a high number of attacks, focusing on key locations, and are attempting to break through the Ukrainian defenses. The Russians are concentrating efforts on specific areas, particularly around Shchevchenkove, which, if captured, could threaten the stability of Pokrovsk.
