The Russian army is trying to capture Pokrovsk. Despite the fact that Russia has concentrated the largest forces in this direction, the enemy's troops are suffering significant losses. They can only try to bypass it either from the west or from the east. This was stated on the air of the national telethon by the spokesman of the operational and strategic group of troops "Khortytsia" (OSUV "Khortytsia") Viktor Tregubov, reports UNN.
The strategic goal of occupying Pokrovsk remains with them. They can only try to bypass it either from the west or from the east. From the west, their offensive was disrupted - the active defense of Ukrainians and some local counterattacks forced them to stop. The losses they suffered were significant,
He added that the Pokrovsk direction remains the most active.
"The largest forces of the Russians are concentrated here and they still have their goal, which was set before them by the highest political leadership of Russia," the spokesman said.

The enemy is increasing assault operations by small groups of infantry in the south of Ukraine, especially in the Orikhiv and Huliaipil directions. All nine assaults were unsuccessful.
