💨 Abstract

Russian forces are encircling the strategically important eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, capturing nearby villages and halting production at Ukraine's only coking coal mine there. Pokrovsk, a road and rail hub in the Donetsk region with a pre-war population of 60,000, has been severely damaged by shelling and most of its residents have fled.
