I will tell you briefly and in general terms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Mirnograd is currently clear of the enemy.<\/p>\n<p> Up to 350 Russian military personnel have been recorded in Pokrovsk and on the outskirts of the city, whose presence was observed both south and north of the railway, in particular on the northern outskirts.<\/p>\n<p> The railway, I remind you, divides the city in half. The larger part is the southern part. The smaller part is the northern part.<\/p>\n<p> The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Defense Forces) are both in the city and in front of it. Logistics are difficult, but they are present, which in principle allows additional forces to be transferred to the city to clear out the Russians who have infiltrated Pokrovsk. Fighting continues.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/the-situation-is-difficult-but-not-critical-what-is-happening-near-pokrovsk\/\">The situation is difficult, but not critical: what is happening near Pokrovsk<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> I would say that the coin is hanging in the air, and now we are waiting to see where it will fall.<\/p>\n<p> There is no encirclement. Moreover, I hope that we will hear some more good news from the Dobropil direction, which will be extremely important given the situation north of Pokrovska-Mirnograd.<\/p>\n<p> We are monitoring, not panicking, filtering information. There will be no predictions about the results of the battle for Pokrovsk. As I said above, the coin is in the air.<\/p>\n<p> <em>We remind you that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/voroh-naroshchuie-prysutnist-u-pokrovsku-drony-i-pikhota-proryvaiutsia\/\">the enemy continues to gradually penetrate Pokrovsk<\/a> , increasing its presence with infantry units and increasing pressure on Ukrainian positions. At the same time, the enemy <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/masshtabne-stiahuvannia-syl-rf-ukrainski-viyska-strymuiut-nastup-pid-pokrovskom\/\">is trying to surround the city<\/a> and advance to the northwest and north of the agglomeration. The Russian troops are also actively using drones and artillery to control the logistics of Ukrainian troops and search for ways to infiltrate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <em>The day before, it became known that the Russian occupation forces are increasing pressure on the Pokrovsk direction &#8211; the situation in the city itself remains complex and dynamic. However, there is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/protyvnyk-prosochuietsia-lohistyka-uskladnena-iaka-zaraz-sytuatsiia-u-pokrovsku\/\">no talk of the Russians blocking the Defense Forces units in Pokrovsk<\/a> .
