The Ukrainian Defense Forces are conducting search and assault operations and eliminating Russian occupiers in the urban development of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region.
This was reported by the press service of the Group of Forces “East”.
In Myrnograd, located near Pokrovsk, Ukrainian soldiers are also holding defensive lines. The defense forces are destroying the occupiers on the approaches to the city.
Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian units in the Pokrovsky direction stopped 45 assault actions of the aggressor. 110 occupiers were neutralized there, 83 of them irreversibly, and seven units of automobile and special equipment, a motorcycle, 26 UAVs were destroyed, an artillery system and 12 shelters for enemy personnel were also hit.
Additional logistical routes to Pokrovsk and Myrnograd are currently being organized. This is necessary to ensure uninterrupted supply of units with everything they need, explained the Vostok Military District.
As a reminder, the General Staff reported that units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold difficult sections of the front – Pokrovsk, Vovchansk, Kupyansk, and Russian statements about the “capture” of these cities do not correspond to reality.
Earlier, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi stated that the main tasks of the Ukrainian military in Pokrovsk are to gradually take control of certain areas , support and protect existing logistical routes.
By the way, the situation in Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast, remains difficult. Russian troops are trying to create conditions there for a complete encirclement of the city .
As is known, Russian troops are actively strengthening their positions in Pokrovsk and accumulating resources capable of conducting surveillance and striking the entire settlement.
It is worth noting that the Russian occupation forces, having failed to capture Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, intensified propaganda .
