The Russian Defence Ministry has released a video appearing to show its soldiers moving unopposed through the southern districts of Pokrovsk, Ukraine. The footage — verified by Reuters — reveals deserted, war-torn streets lined by charred residential buildings, smashed signs, and shattered windows. One soldier is seen pushing a stretcher, underscoring the absence of active combat in the area. Russian maps now claim Pokrovsk is under their control, calling it the “gateway to Donetsk.” But Ukrainian officials dispute this, describing Pokrovsk as a contested “grey zone” and denying full encirclement of nearby Myrnohrad. The developments come amid a broader Moscow offensive, with Ukrainian special forces reportedly sent to the city amid rising pressure.
