Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that a comprehensive operation to destroy and displace enemy forces is underway in the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd agglomeration. The city’s defense is being coordinated and supported by additional units, weapons, and unmanned systems.
He wrote about this in Telegram .
Syrsky noted that he had served in corps and military units in the Pokrovsky direction and had heard reports from commanders on the current situation and existing needs.
According to him, in the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd agglomeration, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding back the pressure of a multi-thousand-strong enemy group, which continues to attempt to infiltrate residential areas and cut off supply routes.
The Commander-in-Chief emphasized that there is no encirclement or blockade of cities, and work is ongoing to ensure logistics.
He reported on the conduct of a comprehensive operation to destroy and expel enemy forces from Pokrovsk. The main burden of the operation is borne by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in particular, unmanned systems operators and assault units.
By order of Syrsky, combined groups of Special Operations Forces, the Military Law Enforcement Service, the Security Service of Ukraine, and other parts of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, including the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, are operating in the city.
The Commander-in-Chief noted that the enemy in Pokrovsk “is paying the highest price” for attempts to fulfill the task of occupying Donbas.
Syrsky added that the liberation and clearing of the territory in the Dobropil direction continues.
“We hold Pokrovsk. We hold Mirnograd,” he emphasized.
The defense of the agglomeration, he said, will be supported by additional units, weapons and equipment, including unmanned systems and UAVs. The Commander-in-Chief expressed gratitude to the Ukrainian military for their work.
It was previously reported that at the beginning of the week , Ukrainian special forces from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense were sent to Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region to stabilize the situation after a sharp escalation of hostilities.
As a reminder, the enemy continues to gradually penetrate Pokrovsk , increasing its presence with infantry units and increasing pressure on Ukrainian positions.
As reported, the enemy is trying to surround Pokrovsk and advance to the northwest and north of the urban agglomeration , actively using drones and artillery to control the logistics of Ukrainian troops and search for infiltration routes.
By the way, on the morning of October 29 , the Russian occupiers tried to demonstrate their presence in Pokrovsk by installing the tricolor on the entrance ceiling of the city . However, within an hour, the symbol of the occupiers was eliminated.
