Russian Advances in Donetsk Threaten Ukrainian Supply Lines

Recent Russian advancements in Donetsk pose a threat to Ukrainian supply routes as the Russian Black Sea Fleet repositions to Novorossiysk following successful containment efforts by Ukraine. The escalation in eastern Ukraine has prompted locals to flee, with stories of evacuation and civilian casualties emerging.

As Moscow targets key logistical hubs like Pokrovsk, President Zelenskyy emphasizes the urgency of the situation. The Kremlin downplays the impact of NATO-supplied F16 fighter jets on the conflict, citing the need for more aircraft to bolster Ukraine's air defenses against Russia's advances.
