Under what conditions the Armed Forces of Ukraine will leave Pokrovsk: Explanation from the commander of the 68th Brigade.


The commander of the 68th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade, Luty, stated that it is difficult to predict how long it will take for the Russian troops to approach Pokrovsk in Donetsk region. He also noted that when the Russians enter a settlement, chaos ensues. He cannot control the movement of Russian troops as they move from house to house. If the Russians capture Pokrovsk, the Ukrainian military will face constant logistical problems.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that fierce battles are ongoing in the direction of Pokrovsk, where the enemy has an advantage in numbers. The occupiers are located three kilometers from the outskirts of the settlement. The commander of the 108th battalion, Serhii Filimonov, believes that the main reason for the difficult situation in the direction of Pokrovsk is the incompetent management of the troops.
