Pokrovsk Seizure Fails to Unlock Wider Donetsk Advances, ISW Finds

ISW finds no evidence Ukrainian forces in Pokrovsk since Jan 2025, implying Russia captured the town earlier but has not leveraged it for broader Donetsk gains. Pokrovsk’s seizure is no guarantee of rapid Fortress Belt advances, and Moscow’s push has been slow and limited. The report also highlights Kremlin reflexive-control efforts to influence the West, stalled peace negotiations, and looming domestic internet restrictions such as a Telegram ban. Ukraine continues expanding defense production in Europe and receiving Western military aid, including long‑range strikes, while fighting persists across multiple fronts without a decisive breakthrough.
