Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy conducted a visit to meet with national troops in the Donetsk region on the weekday. Zelenskyy announced that he consulted warriors at the command post of the 1st Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard Azov, which is conducting a defensive operation in the Dobropillya area, a location approximately a short distance from Pokrovsk.

Critical Circumstances in the Area

The status is precarious, with accounts indicating that opposition troops were digging in and strengthening posts in some districts.

Russian Military Legal Adjustments

The head of state also approved legislation authorizing recruitment all year round whereas previously it was possible only during limited periods in autumn and spring. Moscow legally bars recruits from being sent to battle, but after their armed forces duty they join the reserve forces, exposing them to potential of being deployed to conflict.

Significant armed forces costs have also started to strain the Russian state budget, with Moscow raising taxes to plug a rising deficit.
