Russia says forces capture two settlements, Ukraine says fighting continues throughout front

  • Russia's Defence Ministry reported capturing two settlements, Novooleksandrivka and Torske, in eastern Ukraine on Thursday amid ongoing frontline fighting.
  • The Russian advances followed months of relentless efforts around the logistics hub Pokrovsk, while Ukraine's General Staff listed more than a dozen settlements under attack along a 1,100 km front.
  • Oleksandr Syrskyi, the highest-ranking military leader in Ukraine, reported fierce fighting along an extensive front and emphasized the resilience of Ukrainian forces near Pokrovsk as Russian troops continue a prolonged attritional campaign involving up to 640,000 personnel.
  • Direct peace talks between Ukraine and Russia are scheduled for May 15 in Istanbul, marking the first face-to-face negotiations since March 2022, despite limited hopes for a breakthrough and Putin ignoring Zelenskiy's meeting call.
  • The situation suggests prolonged combat with Russia seeking territorial gains in Donbas and Ukraine calling for a just peace, while diplomatic efforts may yield limited immediate results amid ongoing hostilities.
