As UNN reported yesterday, The Economist correspondent Oliver Carroll claimed that GUR fighters were conducting a counter-offensive operation near Pokrovsk.
"It turned out that Ukraine's military intelligence is conducting a daring counter-offensive near Pokrovsk to restore key logistics lines. The videos I shared allegedly show helicopter landings in areas that Russia claims to control," Carroll said.
UNN sources confirmed the information about the counterattack, as well as the authenticity of the video shown by Carroll.
Today, November 1, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russian troops "prevented the landing of a group of special operations forces of the GUR from a helicopter in an area approximately 1 km northwest of the outskirts of the settlement of Krasnoarmiysk (Pokrovsk - ed.) of the Donetsk People's Republic. All 11 people who landed from the helicopter were destroyed."
UNN sources report that "this information is as false as Gerasimov's report to Putin a few days ago that Pokrovsk is surrounded."
According to the source, Ukrainian intelligence fighters are conducting stabilization actions under the leadership of GUR head Kyrylo Budanov in the designated area of Pokrovsk.
