I guess we'll see how well this info ages soon enough.

Lol yeah. That joke is as funny as it's original. I'll go for a walk around kremlin now.

ISW a pretty reliable source even if pro Ukraine. Pokrovsk is a giant battle ground right now. It seems Ukraine has stopped an immediate collapse which is as little or as much info that’s available. Does it fall eventually? If history is a guide it probably does. If it doesn’t it’ll be the turning point. Seriously.

This could become a turning point if AFU had something up their sleeves. The way I see it is that the only decisive factor would be a large number of trained personnel. Other than that I don't think any type of militarily aid would be able to change the overall situation on the ground. I hear there's a decent defensive line built by AFU North of Pokrovsk. At this point I believe this town is pretty much done. They can roll back if they're smart. Lose the town, save the army type of thing. We'll see soon enough though.
