Hal Turner is reporting news that should show up soon on Simplicius and elsewhere if true:
There is an unexpected development in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict: The Ukrainian Defense has collapsed at the city of Pokrovsk.
Ukraine military is now sending urgent messages to the townspeople telling them they have “less than two days” to pack up and evacuate.
The same is happening in Kupyansk – Seversk and soon in Konstantinovka..
It appears that Russians will take all 4 settlements more or less at the same time; basically merging 4 operational crisis sectors into a strategic disaster for Kiev.
Russia has made a major breakthrough in the Ukrainian defense on the Pokrovsk axis!
Ukraine simply does not have enough people to hold the lines anymore. Russians find a weak spot and can just drive ahead.
In the Dobropillia area, Russian troops have broken through the front to a depth of more than 11 kilometers, finding weak spots in the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense. Such huge advances previously were unheard of.
It appears the long-expected breakthrough appears to have taken place, which no doubt accounts for President Trump’s abruptly-compressed timeframe to meet with President Putin later this week.
UPDATE: Looks legit. From a UFA commander’s public tweet addressed to Zelensky.
The front line as a stable line of combat does not actually exist. Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are almost surrounded. Kostiantynivka is half-surrounded. The enemy is advancing towards Kramatorsk and Druzhkivka.
