According to Syrsky, Ukraine was under tremendous pressure in the area of the strategic city of Pokrovsk, which for several weeks was the epicenter of the war in eastern Ukraine.
The troops have now managed to stop Russia's advance there. Over the past six days, the enemy has not advanced a single meter in the Pokrovsk sector. In other words, our strategy is working. We have deprived them of the ability to maneuver and deploy their reinforcement forces from other directions... and this weakening is undoubtedly felt in other areas. We note that the number of artillery attacks, as well as the intensity of the offensive, have decreased
