The Pokrovsk direction is currently the main Russian offensive objective and the only one where they are advancing slowly but steadily. Since the fall of Avdiivka in February 2024, Russians captured 28 nearby villages,
advancing roughly halfway towards Pokrovsk, the next town.
At the same time, the advances are made at great costs, as Russian losses have reached record numbers in May-July
2024 since the beginning of the full-scale war.
