The Russian army has escalated its assaults in eastern Ukraine, with military authorities reporting a surge in attacks in the region of Pokrovsk, near the front line in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops launched 52 assaults in the area, doubling the previous daily attack numbers. Ukraine's General Staff revealed that their incursion into Russian territory, which began on August 6, has covered approximately 1,000 square kilometers.
The motives behind Ukraine's rapid advance into the Kursk region remain undisclosed, but analysts suggest it may be an attempt to divert Kremlin forces from the front line. Despite the increased pressure around Pokrovsk, Moscow has not taken the bait, as evidenced by the ongoing attacks in the area.
