Ukraine says Russian assault groups that tried to push into central Pokrovsk during heavy fog are being eliminated

Under the cover of fog, Russian troops tried to push into central Pokrovsk - Ukraine says those assault groups are now being eliminated. Russian forces continue to press their offensive on the city.

Over the past several days, Russian soldiers used thick fog to attempt an advance into the central part of Pokrovsk in Donetsk region.

They did not succeed; Ukrainian troops are now eliminating these groups in urban areas, according to the Eastern Group of Forces.

Search-and-assault operations are ongoing in the city. Russia has massed its largest concentration of troops around the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad agglomeration. Ukraine’s Armed Forces are holding positions in the northern part of the city and south of the railway.

So, let me understand this:

Russia has over 1.1 million casualties (killed and wounded) in the war.

Russia has spent well over half of its gold bar tonnage held in reserve to maintain its war economy, their economy is collapsing.

Lines at service stations for gasoline are growing longer by the day. The list of cities going dark with no power is growing.

Russian troops are now not being paid in at least one Russia region, Yakutia.

Russian troop desertions are at an all time high.

Some Russian commanders are torturing and even killing their own troops for refusing to fight in Putin's meat grinder assaults.

Who in their right mind would even think that Russia is some kind of great power? Ukraine is winning this war, it just needs a bit more of a push and the job will be finished. Putin knows this and that's why the kremlin leaked the so-called "peace-plan." It's more Russian disinformation and propaganda to confuse the world. The sitting Russian leaders are the greatest enemies of Russia itself.

Why should Ukraine lay down now when they are winning? They can just wait Putin, (and trump,) out.
