"We are talking about positions to the west of the city, where they have been slowly retreating since about March, if not since the end of February. They were very actively trying to advance precisely to cut off the highway from Dnipropetrovsk region - from Pavlohrad to Pokrovsk, but they did not succeed. A small turning point occurred there when the Ukrainians repelled Kotlyne, and now the Russians are very slowly, but retreating from the western outskirts of the city closer to the southern ones, from which they started their offensive," Tregubov said.
