Pokrovsk, partially destroyed by constant shelling, remains an important node of defense: a large part of the Ukrainian units is located both inside the city and on its approaches. This is stated in The Telegraph, where Ukrainian soldiers told about battle everyday life. One of them, a fighter with a call sign, reported that the enemy overturned reserves from Kursk, inland areas of Russia, occupied Kherson region and other places.
Meanwhile, it is not yet clear whether the Russians will be waiting for the freezing of the autumn mud to use heavy armored vehicles, whether active assaults will begin in the near future. "There are three armies now fighting here. The 8, 51st and, recently, 155th Marines," he said. Intelligence captures more and more Russian units in the Donetsk area, which indicates a further increase in forces.
At the same time, Ukrainian crews continue to delay sabotage groups that remain one of the main threats. According to the fighters on the outskirts of Pokrovsk, a positional war continues. Small groups of artillerymen, mortars and drone operators operate on the part of the defense forces. With the approach of autumn and winter, the soldiers become more difficult-the earth turns into a mud, sleeping beds wet, and Russian FPV-punks wait for the slightest mistake.
Asked how long the Pokrovsk Ukrainian defenders would say that by the end of the year the enemy is unlikely to occupy the city. "If they do not interfere with our logistics paths, and they are likely to do so, then by the end of the year they will not capture anything. We will continue to give them a assuent every time they try to break through," - one of the fighters is convinced.
It should be noted that the General Staff of the Armed Forces in daily Facebook reports reports the number of attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Eastern and Southern Front: Pokrovsk for the last few months - the hottest plot. In the report as of September 16, the command included 54 storms.
Meanwhile, on September 15, the analysts of the DeepState project updated the fighting map and showed that part of the street of Kiev on the southern outskirts of Pokrovsk was in the "gray zone". We will remind, the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky reported the situation in the Pokrovsky direction.
