The defense of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad remains at a high level, although Russian claims about the capture of the cities are unfounded. According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, the defense continues and the lack of complicated logistics does not prevent Myrnohrad from functioning.
Overall, the situation in both cities is tense, but Ukrainian soldiers continue steadfast defense and block attempts by the Russian side to create assault groups. Russians have been trying to capture Pokrovsk for 16 months, but have not yet succeeded, and the progress of military actions does not correspond to Russian propaganda.
The defense of both cities continues, with Ukrainian soldiers holding positions and preventing attempts by the Russian army to encircle the cities along the front line.
