The thrust of the gradual Russian advance has been in the Donetsk region, with Russian forces pushing towards the town of Pokrovsk, an important transport hub, and into the town of Kurakhove, a city 35km (21 miles) south of Pokrovsk. Russia has increasingly encircled territory and then hit Ukrainian forces with artillery and glide bombs, according to Russian analysts.

The general staff of Ukraine’s armed forces said in its Monday update that 45 battles of varying intensity were raging along the Kurakhove part of the front line that evening.
\n If Russia can pierce the Ukrainian defences around Kurakhove, then they will be able to push westwards towards the city of Zaporizhzhia and then towards Pokrovsk, Russian war bloggers said.
