Russia’s defense ministry announces the capture of Kurakhove, a pivotal front-line town in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region. Verified footage shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the town.
Kurakhove, just 35 kilometers south of Pokrovsk, serves as a critical pathway for troop and supply movements. Analysts suggest its fall could expose Pokrovsk to new attacks from Russian forces.
Key developments:
Ukrainian journalist Yury Butusov described the town as "effectively lost," though Ukraine’s military has not officially confirmed this.
Heavy combat continues, with Ukrainian forces launching counterattacks in Russia’s Kursk region to offset eastern losses.
Reports of manpower shortages suggest Ukraine faces growing challenges in the region.
With Kurakhove potentially under Russian control, the path to Pokrovsk and further strategic gains remains contested.
