The Russian Federation may be in Pokrovsk in September – TT

Russian occupation forces are actively advancing in the direction of Pokrovsky and will reach the city in mid-September, but will not capture it. This was stated in The Telegraph on Saturday, August 31.

“Russian troops have been slowly advancing on Pokrovsk since they captured the strategic town of Avdeevka in February. But after Ukraine pulled elite troops from Donbass to attack the Kursk region, Russia’s offensive accelerated ,” the report said.

The Telegraph quoted the commander of Ukraine’s air reconnaissance unit as saying he had “never seen such a speed of Russian advance.” He noted that the defense forces lack artillery, ammunition and drones.

“The most critical thing for us now is the large number of soldiers of the Russian Federation. According to my calculations, there are at least five times more of them,” said the interlocutor of the publication.

“They are trying to break this flank, essentially along the route to Pokrovsk, and they succeeded, very successfully,” added the Ukrainian commander.

At the same time, the material says that some Russian military bloggers are “concerned” that the recent advance in Pokrovsky’s direction is “suspiciously fast” and suggests that the Defense Forces are preparing some kind of trap.

“The truth is that few outside the Ukrainian and Russian high command really know what is going on,” the publication concluded.

It was previously reported that authorities called on residents of Pokrovsk, Mirnograd and Selidovo to evacuate.
