The Russian military is trying to break through the Ukrainian defense every day. However, so far they have been unsuccessful, according to a statement by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration Vadym Filashkin.

Filashkin said that the Russian army is trying to break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in all directions every day. However, he noted that thanks to the coordinated actions of Ukrainian defenders, it is unable to do so.

“The situation is very difficult. The enemy's priority is to capture the town of Pokrovsk and the town of Myrnohrad,” he emphasized.

The Pokrovsk sector remains one of the most difficult on the frontline. Russian military actions are most actively felt there.

Last week, amid the enemy aggression, it became known that the authorities of the Donetsk region decided to tighten the curfew. In settlements near the front line, it has been in effect since August 12 from 05:00 p.m. to 09:00 a.m.

Moreover, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, yesterday, August 13, more than a third of all the fighting on the front took place in the Pokrovsk sector.
