Myrnohrad

On Thursday, Russia claimed that its forces had seized control of another settlement in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, an area where Moscow has reported gains over recent months, including the capture of the key city of Vuhledar.

Civilians in the city of Pokrovsk, a crucial logistical hub in eastern Ukraine, have only two weeks to evacuate as Russian forces continue their advance towards the city. Those in neighboring Myrnohrad must leave within a few days, Ukrainian officials reported today.
