The Pokrovsky direction in the Donetsk region remains one of the hottest areas of the front. Over the last year, the largest number of combat clashes is mainly recorded there.
According to analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW), the head of the General Staff of Russia Valery Gerasimov, as well as the Russian Minister of Defense of Russia Andriy Belousov made exaggerated statements about the promotion of the Russian army.
