Since the beginning of February 3, there have been 53 combat clashes at the front. Russian forces are most actively attacking in the Pokrovsk direction, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that excluding his country from talks between the U.S. and Russia about the war in Ukraine would be “very dangerous.”

A shortage of infantry troops and supply routes under Russian drone attacks have dealt a blow to Ukrainian forces around the strategic eastern city of Pokrovsk.
