Russian troops focus on seizing strategic towns and highway in Donetsk Oblast
“The Russian forces are focused on breaking through the Ukrainian defenses and launching an attack on the towns of Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, and Selydove in Donetsk Oblast,” the spokesperson for the Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Troop Grouping, Nazar Voloshyn, said on national TV on June 6.
The area near Netaylove is “experiencing high level of enemy activity,” indicating their intention to reach Kurakhove and Pokrovsk in order to launch an offensive west of Avdiivka and Maryinka, he said, adding that the enemy is “rushing” to the Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka highway, which is a “vital route.”
Earlier, on June 4, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War reported the confirmed advance of Russian troops along the M-30 highway west of Netaylove and their approach to Karlivka in the Pokrovsk sector of the front.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
