Russia has announced the capture of the village of Memryk in eastern Ukraine, advancing towards the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk, located about 20 kilometers away. Memryk, with a pre-war population of under 400, was seized by Russia’s Centre grouping of troops. This village is part of Russia's strategy to encircle and isolate Pokrovsk, a crucial supply point for Ukrainian forces. As fighting intensifies, Ukrainian officials are urging residents of Pokrovsk, once home to 60,000 people, to evacuate. Russia’s recent advances reflect ongoing challenges for Ukrainian troops amidst the prolonged conflict.
