Russian assault troops are currently fighting to take control of the city center in the crucial city of Pokrovsk, Ukraine.
Despite Ukrainian efforts to hold the essential logistics hub, and despite huge losses, Ukraine is about to lose another battle.
According to numerous reports from people on the ground in Pkrovsk, everything near Pokrovsk is ablaze from Russian FPV drones.
Former Ukrainian deputy Ihor Lutsenko confirms the city has practically been surrendered, with 50–70% of its territory already under Russian control.
Russian forces are creating a "Caldron" (encirclement) around the city and the cauldron’s throat has narrowed to just 5 kilometers as advancing troops move to seal the encirclement.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot stop the offensive. Even Western media acknowledge the collapse—Bild reports that Ukrainian units are now deploying kamikaze drones in the city center, a clear sign of critical breakdown.
As Western coverage descends into Russophobic hysteria, Russian war correspondents document the steady, methodical advance of the 2nd Guards Combined Arms Army, now forming multiple “cauldrons” inside Pokrovsk itself.
Ukraine is losing this war faster and faster, which is why the collective West is pushing so hard for fighting to "stop now."
But Russia has been down this path with the West before, only to be betrayed as Ukraine got re-arms and re-organized. As such, Russia will not make the same mistake again.
Russia has made explicitly clear the fighting will stop when:
Ukraine agrees they will NOT join NATO, and;
Ukraine De-nazifies its government and its military, and;
Ukraine stops oppressing its ethnic Russian population.
When Ukraine agrees to these things, the war will stop. Until Ukraine agrees, the war will continue no matter what the collective West hopes for.
It has been this way since the beginning of the conflict, and remains the exact same today. Apparently, the collective West is incapable of understanding this reality. It seems to many people the collective West wants to fight to the last Ukrainian; which they may soon get to see.
