"There are heavy battles": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation try to bypass Pokrovsk from the west, - Khortytsia (video) came out
In the Greater Novosilka, as well as in the cities of Toretsk and the Yar, street battles continue, told a spokesman of the operative-strategic group of troops (Osv) "Khortytsia" Victor Tregubov on the air of the Televahorphone "Uniform News". According to the spokesman, the Pokrovsky direction remains the most active, in the last week there took place half of all combatants at the front. The enemy tries to bypass the city from the west. "This is their main ambition - it is Pokrovsk from the west.
Accordingly, there are heavy battles, and Ukrainian troops try to stop them and not allow such coverage of the city and not allow to interrupt the logistics paths. The situation is dynamic," - said the representative of Khortytsia. In the village of Veliky Novosilka, according to Viktor Tregubov, fights continue. Information on the full control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation over the settlement it refutes.
"There are fighting there, Ukrainian troops hold positions within the settlement, although it is more closer to its land, and therefore comment on the loss of the Great Novosilka I would not have become, because we have the following rule: we do not comment on what has not happened", " He said. The city of Toretsk has been attacked for a long time and have not had success yet, said the spokesman of Khortytsia.
He noted that in this direction there are permanent rotations of hostile troops, much of the city is destroyed, but the Ukrainian units have not yet managed to knock out Ukrainian units. "Is it difficult to say, whether there should be a final jerk," Tregubov said. City battles continue in the timeline, the Russians use the channel pipes to displace Ukrainian troops. "It is very difficult to comment on city battles, in fact it is a battle for every street.
It is a constant effort of Russians either to displace the Ukrainian forces, or to destroy any positions for which they can be held. - reported the spokesman. We will remind, the spokesman of the Khortytsia reported on January 27 of the exit of the Armed Forces from the southern part of the Great Novosilka and said that Ukrainian fighters keep defense on the outskirts of the village.
