Ukraine Sends Special Forces To Bolster Nearly 'Surrounded' Troops In Pokrovsk
Ukraine has sent special forces to the embattled eastern city of Pokrovsk, the country's top military commander announced over the weekend, after the Kremlin has said that thousands of Ukrainian troops are surrounded in Pokrovsk.
The strategic city is considered to be "the gateway to Donetsk" - and its loss would be a huge blow to Ukraine's logistical abilities across the eastern front lines. Kiev has rejected Putin's claim to have the whole city surrounded and blockaded. "We are holding Pokrovsk," Ukraine's army chief Oleksandr Syrskii wrote on Facebook Saturday.

The city center was hit, and explosions were also witnessed in the water very near the city. The Novorossiysk Hotel, located about 2 kilometers from the port, was also struck along with several buildings and cars. At least 20 cars were on fire, either from a direct hit or falling debris.

It appears that docked vessels of Russia's Black Sea Fleet may have been among intended targets, given that earlier in the war Russia had transferred much of its fleet from Sevastopol in Crimea to Novorossiysk.
BBC reports that "Veniamin Kondratyev, governor of Krasnodar Krai region where the city of Novorossiysk is located, has sa...
