Points of attention
- The Defense Forces of Ukraine have effectively halted the Russian offensive in the Pokrovsky direction, a critical area in the Russian-Ukrainian war front.
- Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky highlights the crucial defensive victories in repelling the Russian army's attacks on multiple settlements.
Ukrainian Defense Forces repulse Russian army in Pokrovsk direction
This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky.
The Pokrov direction remains the hottest on the entire 1,200-kilometer length of the active front of the Russian-Ukrainian war. I made another working trip to this sector. In the area of the Pokrov-Mirnograd agglomeration, the Defense Forces of Ukraine recently stopped the offensive of Russian troops on several settlements at once.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
As the Commander-in-Chief noted, near Hryshynye, the invaders were destroyed by soldiers of the 32nd and 155th separate mechanized brigades. In the Myrnograd area, the 79th separate Tavria airborne assault brigade and the 14th operational brigade “Chervona Kalina” were working against the enemy. In total, in this direction over the past week, our defenders repelled 291 attacks of the aggressor.
The high activity of the Russian occupation forces requires us to constantly concentrate our efforts, make non-standard decisions, and ensure high-quality interaction between units. This was discussed during a meeting at the headquarters of the 1st Corps of the Azov National Guard. I heard reports on the situation in the brigades' areas of responsibility. We discussed the urgent needs of our defenders. The main emphasis is on equipment and weapons that will help Ukrainian soldiers work against the enemy even more effectively.
