Moscow troops make massive advance in Ukraine just days before Trump set to meet with Putin

Moscow troops made one of their most dramatic advancements of the year Tuesday when they pushed deeper into the Donetsk region of Ukraine — just three days before President Trump is set to meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

Russia’s invasion forces marched some six miles past the frontlines in Donetsk to encircle the towns of Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk, advancing Moscow’s goal of taking full control of the region, according to Ukraine’s authoritative DeepState war map.

“The situation is quite chaotic, as the enemy, having found gaps in the defense, is infiltrating deeper, trying to quickly consolidate and accumulate forces for further advancement,” DeepState said in an update.
