The 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine Azov reported that several days ago it took the designated defensive line on the Pokrovsk direction, according to the National Guard of Ukraine.
According to the representatives of the corps, the situation remains difficult and dynamic.
The Russian occupiers, trying to move forward, are suffering significant losses both in manpower and in equipment.
"The corps' units have planned and taken measures to block the enemy forces in the designated area. The results will be reported later," the military said.
Situation at the front
Over the past day, there were 168 combat engagements at the front.
Russian forces are conducting active offensive actions in 12 directions, and the most intense battles are taking place in the Pokrovsk, Lyman, and Novopavlivka sections of the front.
In the Pokrovsk direction, our defenders stopped 48 offensive actions of the aggressor.
According to Ukrainian defenders, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups are destroyed even before approaching the city.
According to ISW analysts, as of July 31, Ukrainian forces have recently advanced in northern Lysivka in the direction of Pokrovsk.
British intelligence believes that the Russians have achieved some successes in this direction. However, the price Russian forces have paid is absolutely staggering.
