Urban fighting is not observed in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region.
The Russian army has not yet reached the city limits, but is trying to cover it through neighboring towns and villages. The enemy also concentrated all weapons in the Pokrovsk area. Viktor Tregubov, press secretary of the operational-strategic group of troops “Khortitsa,” said this on air at the telethon.
There are no urban battles in the city. The Russians have not reached the city limits, but are trying to cover it through neighboring settlements, villages, penetrate with one group or another, accumulate forces and attack further so as to bypass the city. Also, the active operation of UAVs, the active action of everything that the Russians now have, is also concentrated in the area of the city of Pokrovsk,” he said.
According to him, the invaders do not risk attacking the city “head-on” because it is fortified. The enemy is trying to bypass Pokrovsk and break the infrastructure chains of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The Russian army is also conducting urban battles in Vremenny Yar and Kurakhovo.
It was previously reported that about 3 km remained from the front line to Pokrovsk. Currently, there are 11 thousand residents in the Pokrovskaya community. At the end of last year, Pokrovsk was left without electricity, and the time of restoration of power supply remains unknown.
