Putin’s forces advance towards Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk

September 2, 2024 - Despite a major Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region that began in early August, Russian forces are continuing their rapid advance in eastern Ukraine.

Russia advanced on 477 square km of Ukrainian territory in August, Moscow's biggest monthly increase since October 2022, according to data supplied by the Institute for the Study of War and analysed by AFP.

The Ukrainian army, for its part, made rapid gains in Russia after launching a surprise incursion into the border region of Kursk on Aug 6, gaining more than 1,100 square km in two weeks. But the new front is solidifying to between 1,150 and 1,300 square km of advances over the past two weeks, AFP said.
