Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces continue to carry out their tasks in the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad area, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi reported following his visit to the sector.
During a meeting with the command of military units and headquarters, Syrskyi discussed the current operational situation, actions of Ukrainian forces in designated areas, and the further execution of defensive, strike-and-search, and assault missions. He noted that Russian forces remain highly active, but coordinated actions by Ukrainian units are helping to effectively counter their advances.
According to Syrskyi, priority is being given to the comprehensive support of Ukrainian troops, including the urgent delivery of additional strike assets. Measures are underway to ensure stable logistics for Ukrainian forces and to disrupt the enemy’s supply routes.
He stated that Russian troops are being detected and destroyed both during movement and in areas where they concentrate. Over the past four days, Russian losses in the Pokrovsk sector amounted to 487 personnel, including 350 irrecoverable losses. The exchange fund is also being replenished with captured Russian soldiers.
Syrskyi thanked Ukrainian defenders for their resilience and commitment to the country, emphasizing that the fight continues.
