There is a semi-encirclement in Pokrovsk, but there is no full coverage of the territory, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (2006-2010), Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko said on the air of the Novyny. Live TV channel. To prevent the Russians from closing the "ring", fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as the National Guard and other units of the Defense Forces, are working in the combat zone.

They are trying to stop the enemy west of Pokrovsk, as well as near Rodinsky. The Ukrainian command is trying to do everything to prevent the encirclement from happening, the general explained. Romanenko emphasized that there is no physical environment of Pokrovsk, instead the city is completely in the "gray" zone and is under fire control of the Russian Armed Forces. On the map of hostilities, a "wedge" can be seen in the north and south, the space between them is shot by drones and artillery.

"Russian units are going to meet each other in order to close and cut off logistical routes and thus fulfill what their propaganda has been saying for a long time. " - sounded on the air. In the west and north-west of Pokrovsk, a special unit of the GUR landed in order to hold the transport hub, which was attacked by Russian units from the south, the expert clarified.

Romanenko announced the result of the work of the special forces: they held their positions, and in the meantime, other units of the Defense Forces, which will protect logistics, approached. "A highly professional, well-prepared small detachment broke through the corridor, then our additional forces arrived and improved the situation on the roads used for logistical support. Logistics will be cut, they won't be able to stay inside for a long time, it's risky," he concluded.
