Russia announced its capture of Tsukuryne, a village south of Pokrovsk in Ukraine's Donetsk region, on October 28, 2024. This marks Moscow's continued westward advance, where Russian forces have been progressing since summer. The Ukrainian army has reportedly been outnumbered, and Russia's intensified strikes have resulted in the deaths of three civilians in Kharkiv. Moscow's Defense Ministry confirmed Tsukuryne's capture, placing it 25 kilometers from Pokrovsk, a strategic former mining city with 60,000 residents, mostly evacuated after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Russia's advance aims to consolidate control over more territory in the embattled Donetsk region.
