Before that, on August 12, the StratCom of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the OSOU "Dnipro" noted that in the Pokrovsk and Dobropillia directions, Russia is using the tactic of "infiltration" - small groups of 5-10 people penetrate deep into Ukrainian positions without establishing control over the territory, which creates a false impression of enemy successes on maps from open sources.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made a statement about the Pokrovsk and Dobropillia directions, indicating that there are more than 110,000 occupiers only in the first one, the situation is difficult and dynamic, but measures are being taken to destroy the enemy - additional forces have been allocated, and measures to block the enemy have been planned.
Against the background of such news, the "Azov" corps announced that it had occupied a defined defense line in the Pokrovsk direction.
On August 13, Viktor Tregubov reported that near Dobropillia, small Russian assault groups managed to infiltrate through the first line of Ukrainian defense. And that these groups were being pushed out and destroyed.
Within two days, units of the 1st Corps of the NGU "Azov" inflicted significant losses on the Russian occupation forces. 151 servicemen were eliminated, more than 70 were wounded, and 8 were taken prisoner.
