Ukraine orders evacuation of Pokrovsk as Russian troops close in | BBC News

Ukraine has ordered the evacuation of the city Pokrovsk, as Russian forces approach the region.
In a post on Telegram, the head of the city's military administration says it's important residents "don't delay" their evacuation, as Russian troops are "rapidly approaching the outskirts of Pokrovsk".
The city was the focus of the highest intensity of fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces on Thursday, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In a post on X, President Volodymyr Zelensky said the city was a key focus for defence forces and was one of a number of areas "facing the most intense Russian assaults".

[@TheBongReyes]

Ukraine’s push into Kursk somehow made people forget that Russia has been incrementally gaining ground in Donetsk. The city of Kursk itself isn’t in any danger as Ukraine would need more troops to take a city that size. The assumed plan to force Russia to move frontline units away from Donetsk and redeploy those units to Kursk doesn’t seem to be happening. The arrival of F-16s has been the gamechanger the world was told it would be. I haven’t seen any reports of F-16s doing anything more than air defense. No actual frontline activities. Meanwhile, Russia is depending on I’ll-trained conscripts and, technically, national police forces to try to slow down Ukrainian advances in Kursk. At this point, Russia should allow the Ukrainians to push deeper into Russia. Force them to extend their supply lines. Move even more troops into Russia so as to thin out overall manpower reserves of Ukraine.

After Adolf Hitler came into power in 1933 and enacted policies that would culminate in the Holocaust, Jews began to escape German-occupied Europe and the United Kingdom was one of the destinations. Some came on transit visas, which meant that they stayed in Britain temporarily, while waiting to be accepted by another country. Others entered the country by having obtained employment or a guarantor, or via Kindertransport. There were about 70,000 Jewish refugees who were accepted into Britain by the start of World War II on 1 September 1939, and an additional 10,000 people who made it to Britain during the war.

[@RichardKent-k8c]

Hitler came into power in Germany in 1933,[1] when there were about 523,000 German Jews, or less than 1% of the country's population.[2] Subject to threats and persecution, Jews began to emigrate from that point until the start of World War II in 1939. During this time, more than 117,000 Jews left Austria and more than 300,000 left Germany. Most of these Jews, many young, were trained in a field or college educated. [1][2][a] Key decision-making factors about whether Jews would emigrate were whether they owned businesses, which were subject to Nazi-sponsored boycotts; if they were among the civil servants who had lost their jobs; and the degree to which they were politically active.[2] Initially, Germany encouraged Jews to leave, then they restricted the amount of money they could take from German banks and imposed high emigration taxes. The German government forbade emigration after October 1941. The German Jews who remained, about 163,000 in Germany and less than 57,000 from annexed Austria, were mostly elderly, and were murdered in ghettos or taken to Nazi concentration camps, where most of them also died.[2] Although Jews could easily leave Germany initially, it was difficult to find countries in which they could live, particularly after accepting the initial wave of immigrants in Europe, Britain, and the United States.[2]

This is the reason why Ukraine conducted the Kursk incursion; to draw attention away from its failures in other places of the battle field. If this logistical forty fails, the entire defense belt will collapse.

In fact Russia will take advantage by affirming their position in the Donetsk region. The Ukraine strategy was foolish. Ukraine troops are being treated as wasteful pawns on a chest board.

The Rusaian response in Kursk is horrible because Russia only knows how to fight on way, meatwave style. So, until UKRAINE stops and digs in, Russia doeant know how to stop them. Russia is also good on defense, but only IF they are given lots of time to set ut up. They screwed themselves this time, and thats why they are building defense lines FAR back from the current front lines.
