” Due to the worsening situation in the Pokrovsk direction, residents of Selidovo, Pokrovsk and Mirnograd need to leave the cities.
I ask you to evacuate. If you are not involved in the defense of populated areas, you should leave for safer regions. I understand that evacuation can involve difficulties and uncertainty. But it is better than being under fire on the line of fire,” said Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk.

Kursk:
Ukraine is torn between two fronts: a breakthrough near Kursk and losses in Donbass
Ukraine is trying to find a balance between successful advancement near Kursk and the defense of its positions in Donbas.
Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky said that the Ukrainian Forces are advancing 3.2 km [about 2 miles] per day in the Kursk region. Russia was expected to move significant forces from the east to defend Kursk. The Ukrainian attack was more successful than expected, but Russia did not weaken its position in the east as much as hoped.
Some Ukrainian soldiers are complaining that the attack on Kursk is taking away forces needed to defend the Donbass.
Ukrainian troops suffer significant losses in equipment in the battles for Kursk area.
The situation is especially critical for armored vehicles: tracked and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are being disabled almost twice as fast as usual. As the Ukrainian Forces advance, their equipment becomes an easy target for Russian drones, artillery, and ambushes.
In the coming days, the losses of armored vehicles may increase significantly if the situation remains the same. The fighting in the Kursk region continues to pose serious challenges to the Ukrainian troops, creating additional difficulties in maintaining their combat capability.
