Ukraine reports Russian mechanized assault in Pokrovsk

Russia claims full control of Pokrovsk, while Ukraine asserts it still holds the northern part amid intense fighting.

Ukrainian forces reported a significant Russian mechanized attack in Pokrovsk, with Russia allegedly deploying 156,000 troops and over 30 vehicles in the largest assault to date. Despite Russia’s claims, Kyiv maintains its defense in the northern sector, where urban battles continue. The situation remains dire for Ukraine as capturing Pokrovsk would mark a significant Russian victory in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, President Trump criticized European leaders on peace talks, emphasizing the need for a revised US peace plan.
