In a significant turn of events in the ongoing conflict, Russian forces have announced the full capture of Kurakhovo, a strategic town in the southwest Donbass region, part of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Once home to nearly 19,000 residents, the town had been heavily fortified by Ukrainian forces, featuring firing positions, underground networks, and natural defenses such as a water basin that complicated Russian advances.
As 2024 nears its end, Moscow troops continue to make steady progress across the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, moving in on the towns of Pokrovsk and appearing to be closing in on Kurakhove further south.

Russian forces have made significant advances in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, capturing the key villages of Vesely Gai and Pushkine in the Donetsk region. These victories mark the most substantial territorial gains for Russia in months, intensifying pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The offensive has brought Russian troops closer to strategic targets, including Pokrovsk and Kurakhove, while clashes continue in heavily contested areas like Chasiv Yar. The Ukrainian military described the situation as "exhausting," with fierce resistance reported on multiple fronts. Meanwhile, Russian artillery and airstrikes persist, targeting critical infrastructure and Ukrainian defensive positions. Analysts note that Russia’s November advances are the largest since March 2022, signaling a renewed push to consolidate control over Donetsk. As the battle escalates, international observers warn of the conflict's growing humanitarian and geopolitical consequences.

Keith Kellogg, Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy, has delayed his planned trip to Kyiv until after the inauguration, reflecting the complexities of US diplomacy regarding Ukraine. Initially set for early January, the visit would have involved meetings with Ukrainian officials, but no specific future date has been set. Trump has expressed confidence in resolving the conflict within 24 hours of taking office, though he has also criticized Joe Biden’s approach to escalating military support to Ukraine. Kellogg’s visit will aim to gather information and possibly engage with other European capitals.

A captured Ukrainian serviceman, Maksim Rytikov, has revealed harrowing details of mass mobilization practices in Ukraine, exposing the drafting of elderly individuals, disabled citizens, and even those with psychiatric conditions into the military. In a shocking testimony, Rytikov described being forcibly mobilized despite a history of head surgery and being placed in a mental health facility before deployment. He highlighted the widespread lack of proper training for new recruits, who are sent directly to the frontlines with minimal preparation. Rytikov also spoke of rampant desertion among soldiers and the staggering losses suffered by the Ukrainian army, describing the battlefield as "littered with corpses." His revelations paint a grim picture of desperation and chaos within Ukraine's armed forces.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests. He pointed to the failure of the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide special status to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but were never fully implemented by Ukraine.

In a rare and intense tank-on-tank battle near Pokrovsk, Donetsk People's Republic, Russian forces clashed with Ukrainian armored units, resulting in one Ukrainian tank being destroyed. The confrontation occurred as part of a Russian convoy advancing towards a wooded area on the outskirts of the village. The battle escalated quickly as both sides fired at each other, missing initially, but a Russian tank landed several direct hits on the leading Ukrainian tank, causing it to catch fire and become inoperative. The second Ukrainian tank retreated but was later hunted down and destroyed by FPV kamikaze drones. This dramatic video showcases the rare occurrence of direct tank combat amidst the heavy use of drones, marking a rare but significant escalation in tank warfare in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
