Ukraine's Defense Forces are organizing additional logistics routes to supply units in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, where intense fighting continues, according to the East group of troops.

Search and assault operations are continuing in Pokrovsk. Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to destroy Russians in urban areas. In Myrnohrad, Ukrainian units are holding their defenses and fighting on the approaches to the city.

"Additional logistics routes to Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are being organized to ensure the uninterrupted supply of everything necessary to our units," the report says.

According to the command, in total, in the area of responsibility of the East operational-tactical group, Russian losses amounted to 517 troops per day.

Also, 820 drones of various types and 46 units of other weapons and equipment, including 5 tanks, were destroyed.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Ukrainian defenders stopped 52 Russian assault operations in the areas of the settlements of Volodymyrivka, Maiak, Rodynske, Chervonyi Lyman, Novoekonomichne, Pokrovsk, Kotlyne, Udachne, Molodetsk, Dachne, and in the direction of Novopavlivka.

Situation in Pokrovsk

Ukraine's General Staff recently reported that Ukrainian units are continuing defensive operations in the most difficult areas of the front, in particular in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region.

Today, the German news agency Bild published an article about the alleged complete capture of Pokrovsk by Russian troops and the end of the battle.

Ukraine's General Staff immediately refuted this information, emphasizing that it does not correspond to reality.

Yesterday, Ukraine's General Staff spokesperson Major Andrii Kovaliov described how the Russians, taking advantage of thick fog, made another propaganda attempt to raise their flag in one of the city's districts.

They planned to use this as proof of the capture of the entire city of Pokrovsk, but after a brief action, they quickly fled.

Ukrainian paratroopers also reported that thick fog significantly complicates the defense of Pokrovsk.

According to them, the deterioration of weather conditions affects the work of units, in particular, aerial reconnaissance. The fog that hung over the city significantly complicated the performance of combat tasks, but the Ukrainian Defense Forces continued to hold back the Russian troops.
