The heavy fights for the city of Pokrowsk in the east of Ukraine have been ongoing for months. There is not much left of the city, but it is fought bitterly.
After unsuccessful storm attacks directly to the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrowsk, Russian troops have now passed to attempts to settle. Especially from the eastern direction, an attempt is made to break through the Ukrainian positions and to circle Pokrowsk, reported Viktor Trehubow, spokesman for the troops there, on Ukrainian state television. The defense fight in this area at Konstantyniwka lasts.
A direct storm on Pokrowsk makes no sense for the Russian military in the face of high losses, hence the attempt to compensate. Pokrowsk has been a permanent burning point on the fronts in the east of Ukraine for months. The city is located in the west of the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk at a strategically important traffic junction. It is now almost completely destroyed. Ukraine has been defending itself against an invasion of Russia for a good three years.
