The enemy is trying to gather strength and infiltrate the city.

Around two hundred occupiers have now infiltrated Pokrovsk , and the enemy is attempting to consolidate and consolidate its presence in the city. Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Sergei Tsekhotsky reports on Kyiv24 .

“They’re looking for passages, and unfortunately, they’re finding them, and they’re infiltrating the city. According to various estimates, 200-250 occupiers are currently in Pokrovsk,” he noted.

At the same time, he notes that it is difficult to determine the exact number of enemies due to difficult weather conditions and the architecture of the city itself.

Tsekhotsky notes that “the situation is truly dire,” in part due to the propaganda that Russia constantly uses to demonstrate its supposed successes on the front.

“The enemy is waging a very active propaganda war; they’re constantly announcing things that don’t actually happen, and this gives them a short-term advantage: that we’ve captured something, hung up a rag, and so on,” he says.

At the same time, in Ukraine, everyone has the right to vote and disseminate diverse information, and the enemy also uses this for its own purposes, warns Tsekhotsky.
