This is how wars die. Not with explosions but erosion.
In this eye-opening breakdown, Scott Ritter exposes how Pokrovsk, once a logistical hub in Donetsk, is now becoming Ukraine’s slow-motion coffin.
Russia isn’t using tanks. They’re using mud, drones, and motorcycles.
The roads are gone. The reinforcements are older and afraid. And Ukraine’s best brigades are stretched thin across 50 kilometers with no relief in sight.
Russia doesn’t need a breakthrough. It just needs time and it has it.
Pokrovsk is no longer a fight for territory. It’s a test of survival.
Ritter lays it bare: “Technology delays defeat. But only soldiers win wars.”
What we’re seeing may not be a retreat. It may be the unraveling.
