Kurakhove: Ukraine's New Frontline Amid Escalating Russian Offensive

TL;DR
Kurakhove, a city on Ukraine's eastern front, is surrounded by Russian forces and faces severe humanitarian challenges, with residents living in basements without basic utilities. The city has become a focal point of conflict, akin to Bakhmut, as Russia pushes to capture the Donbas region. Local authorities and the "White Angels" evacuation group are crucial in providing aid and evacuating civilians, despite the constant threat of artillery and drone attacks. The situation is dire, with essential infrastructure destroyed and limited access to supplies.
