Det verkar inte vara några större stadsstrider i Pokrovsk utan små grupper mot små grupper sen är det nog för mycket drönare på båda sidor så att inte så många soldater syns ute på gator och vägar om man ska tro denna.
⚔️ Situation on the Pokrovsk front —
📌 In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces managed to “fortify” themselves west of the city, along the forested areas south of the railway, where active fighting continues…
📌 Ukrainian counterattack: A Ukrainian unit, supported by a tank, carried out counteractions in the southeastern part of the city of Rodynske. The gray zone on the map has decreased, meaning the enemy was pushed back…
🇷🇺 Now presenting a description and assessment of the ongoing battle in Pokrovsk from a Russian soldier, published by the Kremlin’s main propaganda channels:
📌 Tens of thousands of Russian soldiers are deployed under Pokrovsk. This can be seen when heading northwest from Selydove, where there is a massive concentration of transport.
📌 The nature of the fighting has changed: if you look at Pokrovsk through a drone camera, you’ll likely see no soldiers. The battle for the city is ongoing, but it’s not engulfed in flames, and bursts of machine-gun fire are very rarely heard there.
📌 Both sides control their main forces about 10 kilometers from the city.
📌 Drone barrier: drones control all access routes, and crossing this barrier alive is possible only for the most daring and self-sacrificing soldiers.
📌 Fighting inside the city: it appears that only the “shadows” of two armies are fighting within Pokrovsk, while their main forces remain in the outskirts. Zelensky clearly underestimates the number of Russian troops in this direction, but the assaults no longer resemble the spirit of Bakhmut.
📌 The storming of a single street may be carried out by just three men — and, most interestingly, they are fighting against three soldiers from the opposing side.
