Russians killed a man and injured another civilian in a bombardment of Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, on February 1, 2025, according to Vadym Filashkin,head of theDonetsk Oblast Military Administration and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES).

According to Filashkin, on January, 28, Russian forces attacked the town of Rodynske in Donetsk Oblast, killing a 55-year-old man and injuring a 63-year-old man. The wounded man was taken to hospital.

 

“Russian occupiers carried out a targeted strike on the town of Rodynske in the Donetsk Oblast. The attack sparked a fire, damaging three houses and a business. Firefighters from the State Emergency Service swiftly brought the blaze under control,” Filashkin said. 

Previously, on January 26, Russians killed two men, aged 60 and 64, and injured two others, aged 27 and 55, as a result of a Russian FPV drone strike on a residential, multi-storey building in the city of Chasiv Yar, Donetsk Oblast, according to the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office

Earlier, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy reported that since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, 148 artists and 96 media representatives have been killed.

Previously, the US’s Institute for the Study of War (ISW) concluded that the Russian military command is demonstrating that it is prepared to engage in operations that could last six to nine months, likely acting on the assumption or direct knowledge that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention of ending the war in Ukraine in the near future. 

The ISW report notes that Russian forces have worked to push Ukrainian troops from the east bank of the Oskil River since the winter of 2023-202. The encirclement of Kupyansk will almost certainly be a months-long effort that will require Russian forces to close a gap of 25–30 kilometers, force the Oskil River, maintain its logistical support, and capture small settlements that come their way.

Analysts assume that the Russian command does not seem to be concerned about the speed or consistency of its advance in Ukraine, probably because it believes that the war will continue until Russia defeats Ukraine militarily.

Ukraine urges the international community to unite in restoring global security under the UN Charter and strengthen sanctions against Russia to enforce compliance with international law. Following Russia’s initial invasion in 2014, Ukraine has pursued the liberation of its territories within its internationally recognized 1991 borders while developing comprehensive reintegration strategies and policies for all liberated areas.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that other countries’ failure to comply with sanctions against Russia should be treated as participation in the war against Ukraine.

Earlier, Bohdan Bernatskyy, a member of the Sanctions Policy Working Group of the Crimean Platform Expert Network, revealed at the Third Parliamentary Summit in Latvia that over 1,300 Russian military companies and 2 million industry workers continue operating, many without international restrictions.

Previously, the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine outlined a timeline for the second Peace Summit.
