Russian Advances in Donetsk
Russian forces have reportedly made significant progress in Donetsk, capturing the town of Selido and surrounding areas, which are strategically important for Ukrainian logistics. The Ukrainian response suggests that Russian forces have been operating under near total air superiority, enabling them to control vital areas and perform artillery operations with increased precision. The fall of Selido, which previously housed the only Ukrainian-controlled coal mine in the region, is anticipated to severely impact Ukraine's resource availability. The evolving battlefield situation in eastern Ukraine necessitates close observation as further engagements are expected to unfold.
