Some of the fiercest battles since the beginning of the conflict unfolded in the Pokrovsky direction, Forbes reports. The Russian army, taking advantage of its numerical advantage, intensified offensive operations, which puts the Ukrainian troops in a difficult position. Ukrainian forces are faced with a difficult task - to hold the front line and slow down the Russian advance.
Ukrainian troops are trying to at least slow down its advance: there is no question of maintaining the front line.
"It is this direction that requires us to give the most intense responses to the enemy," Volodymyr Zelenskyy admitted.
The Russians concentrated about 40,000 soldiers near Pokrovsk. Ukrainian troops numbering about 12,000 are trying to slow down their advance.
The Russians have developed a new method of defeating the "Bradley" BMP. While the PKS are dropping planning bombs on the rear area, scouts on motorcycles are exploring the Ukrainian positions on the contact line. When scouts detect a Ukrainian car, rocket operators get involved.
In recent days, the number of anti-tank missiles fired at Ukrainian defense positions has increased significantly, the Armed Forces complain.
