New focal point - Heavy fighting near Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine
The environment of the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrowsk in the Donetsk region is currently the focus of the frontline action. According to the account of the 47th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces deployed there, Russian troops are attempting to breach the Ukrainian defenders' lines. In the first place, the Russian military is relying on massed infantry attacks, supported by combat drones, as brigade spokesperson Anastasia Blishchik stated on television.

Reconnaissance drones showed "huge cemeteries" of destroyed armored vehicles. Therefore, the Russian side is trying to dominate the combat situation with strong infantry forces.
According to the General Staff in Kiev, the Russian military is trying to increase the firepower in the Pokrowsk region. Consequently, the defensive lines are being reinforced, and more ammunition is being brought to this frontline sector.
