Russian forces intensify assault on Vuhledar, Ukraine

Russian forces have intensified their attacks on the strategic city of Vuhledar in southern Donetsk Oblast, shifting their focus from the nearby town of Pokrovsk.
Known as a "fortress" due to its strong defenses, Vuhledar has been under constant Russian pressure since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The city's strategic importance lies in its proximity to key transportation routes and its role in Ukraine's southern defenses.
Despite facing heavy resistance from Ukrainian forces, Russia has resumed its assault on Vuhledar in recent days. The small mining town, which had a population of approximately 100 people as of February 2024, is located in a heavily urbanized and fortified area, making it difficult for Russian troops to capture.
The ongoing battle for Vuhledar highlights the intense fighting and strategic importance of this region in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. (ILKHA)
