GAME OVER! Russians CAPITULATE IN POKROVSK! | RFU News

Here, cut off, abandoned, and with no way out, Russian troops in and around Udachne found themselves trapped as Ukrainian forces tightened their grip around them. One by one, soldiers emerged from hiding, not to fight, but to surrender en masse, marking yet another Russian indication that the tide is turning on the battlefield.

The goal of the Ukrainian forces in this area is to secure and consolidate control over the rest of the tree belt running along the railway line between Udachne and Pokrovsk. This is because these positions run perpendicular to the Russian route of advance as they try to encircle Pokrovsk from the west, which would force Russians back into full-frontal assaults, massively improving the overall defensive situation for the Ukrainians.
