Residents of the embattled eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk reacted to the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election. "Trump promised to help bring peace to Ukraine," one local told RFE/RL. "We want to believe him." 

Located just 6 kilometers from the front line, Pokrovsk has been targeted by Russia as its forces continue to advance on the key logistical city. In nearby Chasiv Yar, Russian forces have pounded the area with drone strikes as Moscow tries to seize more land in Ukraine's Donetsk region.
