Ongoing Battles in Ukraine Spark Divergent Opinions on the Battlefield
In the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, both sides have reported significant activity along the frontier. According to Russian agencies, intense fighting is occurring almost across all front sections. However, Ukrainian military sources contradict these reports, stating that the encirclement of larger Russian units near the city of Pokrovsk is ongoing, and they expect the surrender of these units. The commander of the Russian armed forces, Valery Gerasimov, asserted that Russian forces are advancing in all directions, claiming territorial gains around the heavily contested city of Pokrovsk. This contradicts the report from the Ukrainian military, who have stated no territorial gains around the city. In Kupjansk, a gas pipeline used by Russian soldiers to enter the city was reportedly destroyed. Russian forces were reportedly attempting to bypass Ukrainian defensive lines in Kupjansk by crawling through a destroyed gas pipeline. The General Staff in Kyiv reported a total of 117 engagements along the entire frontier, but with unchanged positions. Despite the conflicting reports, an independent assessment of the situation in the conflict remains unavailable. Gerasimov also stated that Ukrainian forces are attempting, unsuccessfully and without regard for losses, to halt the Russian advance. Ukrainian military sources continue to hold this stance, expecting the surrender of larger Russian units encircled near the city of Pokrovsk. It is important to note that the commander of the Russian armed forces who reported territorial gains in the disputed city of Pokrovsk on Thursday is not specified in the available Russian news agency reports. In summary, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues with intense fighting along the frontier, with both sides making conflicting claims about territorial gains and the status of encircled Russian units. An independent assessment of the situation remains elusive.
