Russia Broke Through In The Battle For Pokrovsk, Major Setback For Ukraine | Front Line Update

Front line update: Ukraine has suffered a serious setback in the battle for Pokrovsk as Russia pushes forward in one of its biggest battlefield gains in months. Around August 9-10, a Russian attack broke through Ukrainian defensive lines north of the city, moving toward key supply routes in the Donetsk region.

Ukrainian troops on the ground described a relentless offensive, with small infiltration groups and constant drone strikes making it harder to hold positions. Soldiers reported being short on supplies and manpower, warning that parts of the front line are now under Russian control.

While a Ukrainian military spokesman denied reports of a full breakthrough, analysts say the Russian advance near Pokrovsk goes beyond infiltration tactics — marking a dangerous shift in the current situation. Troops describe the onslaught as waves of “cannon fodder” probing weak spots.
