Analysts say the Russian army has recently intensified operations toward Hryshyne. Russian forces are frequently spotted around the settlement, with strikes also recorded inside it.

On Jan. 12, the 7th Air Assault Corps said Russian troops had stepped up attempts to infiltrate the northern part of Pokrovsk, above the railway line, using assault groups.

On Jan. 8, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said Ukrainian defense forces control the northern part of Pokrovsk and are holding back Russian troops in Myrnohrad.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
