The position of the Ukrainian command remains stable. The situation in Pokrovsk is extremely difficult. But the Defense Forces continue to hold the northern part of the city approximately along the railway line. Our units are also actively engaged in eliminating enemy cells. In both the Pokrovsk and Myrnograd areas, measures are being taken to improve logistics, and the enemy's attempts to accumulate assault infantry groups and advance around settlements are being blocked.
