Russians have not advanced in the Pokrovsk sector for two days despite the difficult situation. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a briefing, UNN reports.
"From Zaporizhzhia, a fairly large number of soldiers have been transferred to the Kursk region, from the south of our country and from the Kherson direction as well. Is this appropriate with regard to the second part of your question about the Kursk operation, yes. It fulfills its tasks and goes according to plan," Zelensky said.
He noted that the Pokrovske and Toretske directions are difficult.
"As for the difficulties in the Pokrovske and Toretske directions. We believe that the Kursk operation may also affect this area, where there may be a decrease in the escalation due to the reduction in the number of Russian troops. But so far we see that it is difficult there... We will see what happens next, in any case, we have been talking to the Chief of the Main Command for two days. In the Pokrovske direction, no matter how difficult it is, there has been no advancement in the last two days, as reported to me by the Chief of the Army," Zelensky said.
Addendum
