The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the situation in Pokrovsk.


Russia is trying to undermine the logistics of the Ukrainian army in Pokrovsk, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not plan to leave it
According to statements by the spokesman for the Operational and Strategic Group of Troops 'Khortytsia', Viktor Trehubov, Russia is trying to create conditions to force Ukrainian forces out of Pokrovsk, but currently, the chances of this happening are very low.
'Their goal is to weaken Ukrainian logistics in the city. But simply bypassing it completely is a huge challenge for them,' he said.
Trehubov also explained that the Russians hope to expel the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Pokrovsk, but currently, this scenario is unlikely.
According to Mykola Dovbnya, a deputy of the Druzhkivka City Council, the Russian occupation army has approached the highway from Pokrovsk to Dnipro, which is an important route for supplying defense forces and humanitarian missions in Donbas.
Former Commander Muzhenko previously stated that the Russians do not intend to capture Pokrovsk but plan to block it.
It is also expected that Kyiv's allies will provide Ukraine with the necessary assistance.
