Summary: Russian forces intensified assaults near the eastern city of Pokrovsk, a key supply route for Ukrainian troops, with Kyiv reporting 52 attacks in 24 hours. Pokrovsk, with a pre-war population of 61,000, is vital for supplying other Ukrainian-held areas. Russia claims to have captured nearby villages, while Ukraine remains largely defensive after a failed counteroffensive in 2023. The conflict continues amid rising tensions with Germany over missile deployments.
