In the fighting for the Donbass in eastern Ukraine, Russian troops made further territorial gains. “The enemy launched an attack in the Pokrovske area, was partially successful and settled on the southern edge of the village,” the Ukrainian General Staff said in its situation report on Tuesday evening.
Pokrovske is a settlement ten kilometers east of the major traffic interchange Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. The Siwersk – Soledar – Bakhmut line is considered the next defense line of Ukraine for the agglomeration around the cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
“Significant losses inflicted on occupiers”
According to their own statements, the Ukrainian army has managed to repel Russian attacks on other front sections in the Donbass. The attacks failed both north of Slowyansk and east of Siwersk. “The Ukrainian fighters inflicted significant losses on the occupiers,” the situation report said at one point. The information cannot be independently verified.
Russia invaded Ukraine in late February. In addition to the Luhansk region, the Russian army also wants to conquer the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. In the south of Ukraine, in the Kherson region, the General Staff reports artillery and tank battles without changing the front line.
