The conflict along the Pokrovsk frontline remains highly intense, transforming the region into a battleground of relentless military clashes.

The situation here is exceptionally complicated, with daily fighting resembling a continuous hot conflict where neither side relents.

Both Ukrainian and Russian forces engage in ongoing skirmishes, employing all available means of warfare.

Russian troops currently hold an advantage in manpower and artillery, and despite significant losses, they persist in storming settlements and moving through fields to seize new territories.

This was reported by military artillery officer Volodymyr Nazarenko of the Fourth Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.

He emphasized that the battles involve constant exchanges of machine gun fire, artillery duels, and mortar exchanges.

Experts explain that the current situation is essentially an ongoing conflict flow, where each side strives to gain an advantage through technological and tactical pressure.Furthermore, advances by Russian forces near Bropilly have led to active deployment of drones and heavy artillery, allowing the occupiers to conduct offensive operations from a distance.

Ukrainian military units detect these unmanned systems and launch strikes to neutralize them, reducing the enemy’s combat capabilities.The spokesperson added that the aggressor country possesses extensive resources to sustain hostilities in this region.

Of particular concern is the area around Dobropilly, where Russian troops attempt to destabilize Ukrainian logistics and fragment military units.

According to Nazarenko, Ukraine effectively prevents large-scale breakthroughs and eliminates most sabotage and reconnaissance groups during their formation, engaging in fierce battles for remaining groups.Earlier, Ukrainian officials revealed that over 110,000 Russian soldiers are concentrated on the Pokrovsk frontline—twice as many as the pre-war population of Pokrovsk.

Russian forces are actively trying to destabilize Ukrainian logistical routes and force Ukrainian forces to disperse their fighting units, thus maintaining tension and unpredictability in the conflict zone.

Ukrainian defenders continue to do their utmost to halt Russian aggression and retain control of strategic territories.
