Defence forces control north of Pokrovsk. Here, enemy has lost momentum, - 7th Airborne Corps
The enemy is unable to break through Ukrainian defences in the north of Pokrovsk and is using TB artillery.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press centre of the 7th Corps of the Airborne Forces.
As noted, propagandists have announced the capture of the entire city of Pokrovsk for the fourth time in the last month and a half, trying to pass off their wishes as reality.
"The only argument is photos and videos from the central part of the city.
The enemy has failed to take into account the main thing: this information provocation only works on those for whom television is their main source of information. And Pokrovsk is just an unfamiliar name on the map," the report says.
"We emphasise: Defence forces control the north of Pokrovsk. Here, the enemy has lost momentum and the laws of enemy propaganda do not apply.
Active offensive operations are continuing to restore our control over every metre of the city. Soldiers of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skelia", in cooperation with other units in the defence zone of the 7th Corps of the Airborne Forces, are conducting assault raids south of the railway. Our military is eliminating the enemy step by step, burning enemy rags and returning the Ukrainian flag," added the 7th Corps of the Airborne Forces.
To confirm the statement, the 7th Corps of the Airborne Forces published a video with greetings from Ukrainian soldiers from Pokrovsk. They are destroying the illusion of "success" created by Russian propagandists, who are still able to move in the fog along a limited route south of the railway.
What preceded it?
- The General Staff stated that Russia's claims about the capture of Pokrovsk, Vovchansk, and Kupiansk are not true.
- The situation in Pokrovsk is extremely difficult, but the Defence Forces continue to hold the northern part of the city along the railway line.
- Yurii Harkavyi, commander of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skelia," decided to prove to the BBC that fighting is continuing in Pokrovsk and that the Defence Forces control the north of the city.
- He used a radio to ask two Ukrainian defenders to come out of their shelter in the building to show the Ukrainian flag.
