The situation in the Pokrovsk sector in Donetsk Oblast is "difficult," but Russian troops have not advanced over the past two days, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept. 2, citing Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.

The eastern front near Pokrovsk has been the scene of fierce fighting for several months and a focal point of Russia's offensive in Donetsk Oblast. The city is an important logistical hub for Ukrainian forces.

Asked whether it was appropriate to launch the Kursk incursion, Zelensky said that Russia had redeployed a "sufficiently large number" of troops from Zaporizhzhia and Kherson sectors to Kursk Oblast.

Plus very high number of casualties for the past day with an average of around 1300 a day iirc. Russia is going all in before winter and peace talks, before they're unable to make advances due to manpower and hardware shortage. Will Pokrovsk become their graveyard in Donetsk?

That would be good news. Hear today prokovsk is using the miners that work there to build defenses.
