Yesterday, Viktor Trehubov, a representative of the Khortytsia operational-strategic group, stated that Ukrainian forces are effectively defending Pokrovsk. He emphasized that competent units are responsible for the city’s defense.
"There are effective decisions and tactics that, essentially, tear apart the Russian combination of drones and trained infantry. The infantry is being eliminated, partly thanks to air superiority, particularly when it comes to drones," he noted.
