Russian army moves threatingly close to Pokrowsk!

The Russian army made remarkable progress in eastern Ukraine in November 2024, especially in the Donetsk region. Almost 90 percent of the conquered areas are there, while the Ukrainian armed forces only control less than a third of this strategically important region, approaching the city of Pokrowsk. The Russian advance brings you up to the city in less than five kilometers, which is one of the most important goals. According to reports from the ISW, Russia has conquered 3,500 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory since the beginning of the year, which the regional profits overlook more than six times in the current year compared to 2023. Russia has thus occupied a total of 68,050 square kilometers in Ukrainian areas, which corresponds to 18.4 percent of the entire area of Ukraine, including the Crimea and Donbas, as vienna.at reported.

The human rights situation and the complexity of the conflict are further tightened by the continuous struggles, especially in the southeast. The NZZ emphasizes that the type of warfare has changed; Attackers focus on strategically important places and no longer on broad frontal attack, which often makes the cards of the warring parties misleading. The changing front lines do not always reflect the actual influence of the warring parties. The interactive map of NZZ enables continuous developments to pursue, while the situation on the fronts remains dynamic. Where there were still large areas in the past, it is now often individual strategically significant streets and cities that are competitive, as the analysis of the NZZ shows.
