The shocking development could give Putin an upper hand when he meets the US President for crunch talks on Friday.
The move could even be designed to increase pressure on Kyiv to give up land.
Bloodthirsty Putin’s forces have reportedly advanced by at least 10km north in two prongs in recent days, as part of their attempt to capture the entire Donetsk region.
Russian forces had surged towards three villages on a section of the frontline near Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
Ukraine’s DeepState authority said: “The situation is quite chaotic, as the enemy, having found gaps in the defence, is infiltrating deeper, trying to quickly consolidate and accumulate forces for further advancement.”
