The Russian army continues its offensive in the direction of Pokrovsk, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces are putting up stubborn resistance.
Fierce battles continue in the Pokrovsk area, in which Russian occupiers have achieved certain successes. However, the United States of America has no precise information about the captured territories. This was stated by Pentagon spokesman General Patrick Ryder, the press service of the US Department of Defense reported.
What you see outside Pokrovsk is, you know, intense fighting. I don’t have specific geographic information about what Russia has taken. We know that in the recent past they have had some successes, continuing their offensive in the direction of Pokrovsk, he noted.
The Pentagon emphasized that the Kremlin calls Pokrovsk its main target and is doubling its efforts in the Donbas. Ryder emphasized that during the last “Ramstein” the allies talked about how best to support Ukraine in defending these territories.
The US Department of Defense representative also clarified that Russian troops have not yet reached Pokrovsk and are not close to capturing it.
Recall that on September 7, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the situation in the Pokrovsk direction is not easy, but there is a certain improvement. However, the Ukrainian military emphasizes that there is no need to talk about stabilization in this direction.
