This battle is part of the Pokrovsk offensive.

Kurakhove is one of Ukraine's logistical hubs for the front lines in Donetsk. This is because Kurakhove is connected to Pokrovsk by a road that is part of the infrastructure used for moving troops and supplies to the front lines.

If Russian forces succeed in capturing Kurakhove, they can then advance northward to attack Pokrovsk from a new direction, thereby achieving faster tactical gains up to and along the H-15 highway. Bukansatya (talk) 16:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that your quote supports your assertion; it merely says that a capture of Kurakhove, if further advances are made northward, might assist in the Pokrovsk offensive. See also this RBC Ukraine article treating the efforts as separate. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 01:38, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scope of the article

If this article includes talking about the advances north of Vuhledar and south of Tsukuryne, I would be in favor of the name Kurakhove offensive I Know I'm Not Alone (talk) 12:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Atum Mundi?

This article is the only place where the source "Atum Mundi" is cited on the entirety of English Wikipeida. As far as I can tell it's a student blog for a half dozen students at L'Institut Libre des Relations Internationales et des Sciences Politiques [fr], and they appear to have no editorial board or oversight. Maybe we should omit them as a source. Scuba 00:50, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Cinderella157 (talk) 12:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
