The Russians have been trying to capture Pokrovsk for over a year, but they have not left the goals to capture the entire Donetsk region. The capture of Pokrovsk would open the invaders to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, and later on the occupation of the whole Donetsk region, the publication notes.
European leaders who discuss security guarantees for post -war Ukraine seek more involvement in the United States process and therefore try to persuade US President Donald Trump to strengthen sanctions against Russia - because Moscow does not demonstrate any readiness for constructive dialogue. With regard to security guarantees, the President of France Emmanuel Macron has already declared such guarantees to Ukraine after the war.
These guarantees, in particular, may include the departure of troops to Ukraine. US President Donald Trump has already excluded the possibility of sending the US military to Ukraine, but said that the states could provide air and intelligence support. The German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in turn, stated that the departure of foreign troops to Ukraine can only be discussed only after the ceasefire.
In the meantime, the Ukrainian army should be strengthened as much as possible: "Ukraine should be able to defend itself in the long run, and we want to help it in this, both now and in the future," Merz said. Earlier, US President Donald Trump explained why he could not stop the war in Ukraine. It was one of his main election promises - however, Trump has now acknowledged that he was more difficult than he thought.
