Ukraine again suffered a defeat against Russia...
In recent days, Zelensky's army was continuously attacking russia in the ukraine war. They had captured more than 35 kilometers inside Russia. But now russia has given a befitting reply to these attacks. Russian troops have made a good lead in the northwest area of Donetsk, Ukraine. ukraine has asked the citizens of Pokrovsk to vacate their homes and leave from here. As the Russian army is moving forward, the difficulties for ukraine are increasing.
Ukrainian army had entered to create a buffer zone
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had said in his statement on sunday (August 18), 'Ukrainian army had entered Kursk only because we want to create a buffer zone so that the attacks on us can be stopped. Ukrainian soldiers had also blown up another bridge to break the supply line of Russian soldiers.' The Ukrainian army has taken the lead in Kursk. They are capturing one area after another. Meanwhile, russia has attacked the eastern region of Ukraine. The Russian army has come deep inside Ukraine.
Pokrovsk is on the main supply road
Pokrovsk is a very important area for ukraine because it is at the intersection of the main road supplying Ukrainian soldiers and towns on the eastern front. Donetsk governor Vadim Filashkin has asked children and their parents to leave from 14 places. He further said, '53 thousand people including four thousand children are still living here. These people will now have to go somewhere else because the Russian army is advancing very fast.'
