Defence of Donetsk town a priority, says Zelensky, as special forces deployed

Ukrainian President Zelensky prioritizes defense of Pokrovsk, a vital transport hub in Donbas, as Russia intensifies its push to capture the town. Elite special forces and military intelligence are deployed to protect supply routes, but frequent shelling and uncertain control over key parts of the town cause concern. The battle for Pokrovsk intensifies, with fighting reported in both the railway station and industrial zone, and about half of the town still contested. The town's fate remains uncertain, with potential implications for the war's direction and Ukraine's hopes of holding Donbas. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
