  • Russian forces launched an offensive to capture the strategic town of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine in spring this year. As of yet They have failed to capture it so far, but have been making advances in the Donetsk region bringing them closer to the town.
    Despite heavy losses, Russia is unlikely to abandon its offensive.

    Pokrovsk’s defenses are running on fumes, and the breach shows that the Ukrainian lines are crumbling under pressure. If the fort’s already cracked, Russian forces have a prime opportunity to press the advantage and turn this into a decisive victory. Kyiv’s response so far-digging shallow trenches and relying on improvised tactics-won’t hold up against superior firepower and relentless advances. This is the time for Russian troops to double down, capitalize on their momentum, and exploit gaps in the Ukrainian defenses before they can regroup. A strong push now could secure the sector entirely, leaving Kyiv scrambling and unable to mount any effective counter-punch.

Ukraine is not strong enough to fight Russia, but it is not weak as Cechenia so Russia will break their teeth while being on offensive and war economy for so long.

      Yes he can. First he will need a Russian press accreditation, which can take more than a month to obtain. Assuming he has that he will now need to leave eastern Ukraine and travel to Kyiv then most likely to Warsaw to catch a flight to Moscow, this journey can take 3 days. Then he will need to apply for Russian military accreditation and get permission to be embedded with Russian troops to enter Russain occupied Ukraine. From there he will be able to carry out his reports but after this he wont be allowed to report from Ukraine again as Ukraine will ban any reporter who has entered Occupied Ukraine via Russia. So the short answer to your question is yes he could but its extremely unlikely as its a huge waste of time and resources. Better for Al Jazeera to send a different reporter.
