🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian troops began to “cut off” Pokrovsk; they were about 5 km away from the city.

Forbes writes about this.

The publication reports that the Russians have almost stopped frontal attacks and have switched to the tactic of capturing populated areas around the city.

Now the goal of the Russian army is to encircle and “cut off” Pokrovsk. Forbes writes that this is the moment when the fate of not only one city, but the entire Donbass is being decided.

One of the key points in the “cutting off” of Pokrovsk is the capture of the large village of Shevchenko.

As reported by the Ukrainian Armed Forces lieutenant with the call sign “Alex”, most of Shevchenko is already under the control of the Russian army.
