Situation in Pokrovsk is difficult. Russia has concentrated 170,000 troops there, - Zelenskyy. VIDEO
President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the situation in the Pokrovsk direction.
The head of state made this statement during a briefing, according to Censor.NET.
"I was in some offices, geometrically different, saw different maps. I saw a map of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, which looks strange. I also saw other maps. For some reason, we have different maps of real hostilities in Ukraine. Why in Russia - it is clear. In Ukraine, Russia, Europe, the United States.
At some point, we will coordinate all this and understand where there are certain problems and where there are certain manipulations," he said.
The situation in Pokrovsk
"The situation in Pokrovsk is difficult. All their (Russian Federation - Ed.) forces are there. There are 170,000 enemy troops concentrated in this area. That's a lot, really a lot. I spoke with the commander-in-chief this morning. There are no changes in Pokrovsk. There are Russians in Pokrovsk, and our forces are gradually destroying them," the president said.
Zelenskyy emphasised that it is important to save personnel.
