Russian forces advance in Donetsk, capture key town near Pokrovsk

According to the British Ministry of Defence, Russia's armed forces have made advances on the front in Ukraine, approaching an important logistical point in Pokrovsk and taking control of the town of Novyi York in the northern part of the Donetsk region.

As part of recent actions on the western front, the Russian army managed to seize additional towns, which allowed it to approach the key logistical hub in Pokrovsk.

Additionally, on the northern front, Russian forces entered Novyi York, a town considered since 2014, when hostilities were initiated by Kremlin-backed separatist groups, to be a point on the front line.

According to the daily intelligence update provided by British military intelligence, further tactical successes by Russian armed forces are possible in the coming weeks.

Nevertheless, the report highlights the weakening of the attacker's combat capabilities, which was caused, among other things, by shortages among the officer corps, insufficient training levels, and significant losses suffered.
