YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Russia says it has captured the key mining town of Toretsk in eastern Ukraine after months of fighting.

Operations were suspended last month because of the Russian advance. Moscow's troops are also closing in on Pokrovsk -- a key logistics hub. Its main supply lines are now under threat.
