Russian Push Near Pokrovsk Edges Forward as Reserves Arrive, Syrskyi Says

Russia continues a northern push around Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast, bringing up reserves and using infiltration tactics, according to Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. Open-source maps show incremental gains but the city remains contested weeks after Putin’s surround claim; Syrskyi reported around 400 clashes in the Pokrovsk area last week and said Ukraine is focusing on destroying enemy reserves and expanding its drone units amid harsh winter conditions.
