  • The Ukrainian Armed Forces control the northern part of the city.

The fighting for Pokrovsk continues. Ukrainian Defense Forces are holding the northern part of the city, according to Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky .

According to him, Ukrainian fighters in the area of ​​Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are preventing the invaders from amassing infantry assault groups and advancing around these settlements.

“Our soldiers continue to hold certain areas within the cities,” Syrsky wrote.

He added that the enemy does not take into account the loss of manpower, while Ukrainian commanders have a clear understanding of the importance of preserving the lives and health of their subordinate personnel.

“To this end, during a meeting with our commanders, we clarified issues of coordinated use, ensuring the advancement and timely replacement of units conducting search-and-assault operations to identify and eliminate the enemy,” the statement said.

Syrsky emphasized that the commanders made a number of decisions regarding combat control, interaction, and comprehensive support for the deployed forces and assets.

“In this context, the organization of additional logistics routes, timely medical evacuation, counter-battery fire, and countering enemy UAVs play a special role,” the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces concluded.

Will Russia capture Pokrovsk before the New Year? – Forecast

Dmitry Snegirev, a military-political analyst and co-founder of the public initiative “Right Cause,” told Glavred that holding not only Pokrovsk but also the rest of the Donetsk region under our control now depends solely on a political decision and negotiations.

“It’s difficult to make predictions, but I don’t think Pokrovsk will be completely captured by the occupiers before the New Year, or even for a certain time after the New Year,” Snegirev said.

The situation at the front – news on the topic

As a reminder, political scientist and Ukrainian Armed Forces Major Andriy Tkachuk, who recently returned from the Pokrovsk sector, stated that the city of Pokrovsk is currently experiencing the most fighting on the front , where the situation is particularly complex and threatening. Delivering essential supplies to Myrnohrad is difficult, making logistics extremely challenging.

As Glavred reported, despite constant attacks, the enemy continues to attempt to break through to Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad in the Donetsk region. According to the DeepState project, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are actively holding back the Russian advance.

As a reminder, the information circulated by the German publication Bild about the complete capture of Pokrovsk by Russian troops is untrue. The situation in the city remains tense, and fighting continues.
