The Battle For Pokrovsk - 1 Russian KIA Every 104 Seconds

Pokrovsk is a small town in Ukraine but it is the gateway for supplies and reinforcements in the Eastern Donetsk region.

Russia wants to capture Pokrovsk before winter begins, Putin has sent 170,000 soldiers to Pokrovsk but Pokrovsk still stands, a huge defeat for Putin.

This is why I challenged an article about Krasnov's "peace plan" as being a right wing talking point, Along with the peace plan, right wing sources are insinuating that Ukraine is losing the war. Putin badly needs an out to save face. He can't hide the numbers of dead soldiers.

I hesitate to post anything because of the fog of war, and my link is from Veuer which I cannot confirm its reliability, but one thing I believe with all my heart is that Ukraine will never surrender like Krasnov's/Putin's peace plan suggests.
