We repel every attempt by the Russian Federation to advance: Zelenskyy told what is happening in Pokrovsk and Chasovye Yar

07/31/2025

The most intense fighting on the front is recorded in the Pokrovsk area, where Russian sabotage and reconnaissance and small assault groups are trying to break into the city. The Chasovy Yar area is also not easy, but Ukrainian soldiers are courageously defending themselves from enemy attacks.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrsky , reported on the situation to President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 31. The Head of State announced this in an evening address to citizens, published on the OP’s YouTube channel.

As Zelensky noted, the general focused his report on the events unfolding on the front line.

“Especially the Pokrovsk direction – our units are holding their positions . Pokrovsk, Dobropillya – that’s where the fighting is most intense. And it’s important that our soldiers are destroying Russian DRGs, small groups that are constantly trying to break into the city, constantly wanting to gain a foothold there. This is a Russian tactic, and our response to it is the destruction of the occupier,” the president said.

He drew attention to the enemy’s disinformation about Chasovy Yar. The Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country hastened to boast about the alleged “complete capture” of the city .

” There were Russian “intrusions” today, you saw it, about Chasiv Yar – this is Russian disinformation. Ukrainian units are defending our positions, and we ultimately repel every Russian attempt to advance in the Donetsk region, in the Sumy region, in the Kharkiv region. And this is not easy, but this is the protection of the very right of Ukrainians to life. Each such direction is very important,” the Supreme Commander-in-Chief emphasized.

– The 24th King Danylo Motorized Rifle Brigade previously reported that the situation in Chasovye Yar remains difficult. Street fighting continues in the city, so Ukrainian soldiers have to repel enemy attacks in difficult conditions.
