Ukraine Fortifies Kursk Gains As Russia Goes After Pokrovsk - Good Times Bad Times (The 20s Report)



Update: After writing the script on Tuesday, the situation has already developed:
- Russia moved even further in the direction of Pokrovsk, narrowing the gap to just 9 kilometers. The DeepState member described the Ukrainian command in this section as "disorganized and chaotic".
- Durov was released from custody on parole, but was barred from leaving France pending trial.
- Ukrainian forces conducted drone strikes against oil infrastructure in Rostov and Kirov oblasts, and reportedly conducted a drone strike against Voronezh oblast overnight on August 27-28.

I believe Pokrovsk was one of the towns during the battle. If I remember right it was an objective but the Germans changed direction and ended up going to Prokarovka (spelling?). There was a huge tank battle there. I wonder if some of the fortifications in that area are still in place?
