"It would be better not to allow this at all." Dnipro OSTG announces stopping of russians near Pokrovsk

The Ukrainian military stopped the russian assault groups that made a breakthrough near Pokrovsk and are holding back the assaults and attempts to advance in the Chasiv Yar area. This was stated by the spokesman for the Dnipro Operational and Strategic Troops Group (OSTG) Viktor Trehubov on the air of Suspilne. News.

"Fortunately, the russians did not manage to introduce additional troops in this Axis. There were such fears. There were fears that after the infiltration they would try to break through seriously, they would try, in particular, to introduce armored vehicles. However, fortunately, they did not manage to do this, because there was an operational response, the infiltrated groups were stopped and as a result were simply cut off. Now they are complaining in Telegram channels that these are "naked-barefoot guys." Let's see what will happen in the next few days. But so far, we have managed to prevent a negative scenario," Trehubov noted.

He also emphasized that the negative scenario has been prevented for now.

"We'll see what happens in the next few days. But so far, we have managed to prevent a negative scenario. Although, again, it would be better not to allow this at all than to extinguish this flame later in such operational modes," the spokesman said.

We will remind, according to Filashkin, currently 1,327 civilians remain in the front-line Pokrovsk, and it is almost impossible to evacuate them without the help of the Ukrainian military. The occupiers are one kilometer away from Pokrovsk.

In addition, 10 guided aerial bombs are being dropped on Kostiantynivka of the Donetsk Region every day, and 7,500 civilians remain in the city.
