Putin’s 150000 ‘mad max’ forces in Pokrovsk? Experts beg Zelensky to pull troops from Ukraine city

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected claims that troops are being “sent to die for ruins” in the defense of Pokrovsk, as fears grow over the city’s encirclement. Russian forces have surrounded Pokrovsk from three sides, leaving only a narrow 15-kilometer (nine-mile) corridor for Ukrainian reinforcements and supplies, according to the battlefield monitoring group DeepState.
