Russians unsuccessfully attempt to surround Pokrovsk - Defense Forces.


Russian troops are trying to 'sneak' in small groups around Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, but cannot pose a real threat to the city.
Spokesman of the Operational Strategic Group of Forces 'Khortytsia' Viktor Trehubov said during a telethon.
The Pokrovsk direction has been one of the most tense over the past four weeks. But they (the Russians - ed.) currently have no success in directly threatening the city of Pokrovsk,' Trehubov said.
According to him, the Russians are unable to capture the city, but they are attempting to infiltrate in small groups.
If we talk about a large movement, about a threat to the city in the near future, we cannot say this. But they are trying to pass through individual houses in certain settlements. It's hard to name all the settlements where they are conducting military operations, as there are many,' the spokesperson added.
Recall that the Russian military has intensified offensive actions to the east of Pokrovsk, attempting to encircle the city from the northeast.
Moreover, the Russian Federation is trying to weaken Ukrainian logistics in Pokrovsk, but the ousting of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city is currently unlikely,' said the spokesman of the Operational Strategic Group of Forces 'Khortytsia' Viktor Trehubov.
By the way, upon entering Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, they restored the destroyed yellow-blue sign with the city's name.
