Tregubov’s direct speech: “The Russian occupiers are throwing all available forces forward (on Pokrovsk – ed.) and are trying to break through the Ukrainian defenses. However, there are no battles in the city and its surroundings yet.”
Details: The spokesman emphasized that there are no hostile DRGs in the city or on its outskirts. At the same time, the Russians are trying to surround the city from the left and right flanks.
Tregubov also noted that the occupiers avoid frontal battles and plan to gain a foothold on the outskirts of Pokrovsk, as the battles in the city itself are extremely difficult.
