BILOZERSKE, Donetsk Oblast — Less than 30 kilometers north of embattled Pokrovsk, a market was in full swing in the town of Bilozerske.
Meters away, however, a crowd has gathered in front of a buildi...

It is again particularly blatant as Russia claims to have 'liberated' (= occupied) cities where fighting is still ongoing.
