With over 170,000 Russian troops concentrated around the small city, Santa explains why Pokrovsk has become a symbol of Ukraine’s endurance — and a costly trap for the Russian army.They also discuss a remarkable story making headlines: the appearance of a Black Hawk helicopter in Pokrovsk — believed to be the very one crowdfunded by ordinary people in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and donated to Ukraine earlier this year. What started as a grassroots campaign has now become part of a real front-line operation.
