Storm two: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation under Pokrovsk used an unprecedented tactic (map)
According to Shestakov, Russian servicemen often carry out attacks one or two, relying solely on their own. This approach, he said, was not observed in other areas of the front. "Very often one by one, two weapons are attacked, with the intention of capturing their position on our own. We have never seen this in addition to this direction, we have not encountered it," Anton Shestakov said.
In addition, the captain said, Russian assault groups have to overcome considerable distances, as their equipment is destroyed by Ukrainian drone operators. During these transitions, the enemy hunt Ukrainian UAVs, so often soldiers hide in abandoned dugouts, meeting the remains of previous groups there.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, in the Pokrovsky direction, Ukrainian defenders reflected 49 assault attacks of the enemy towards the settlements of Berezivka, Mirne, Ray, Lisivka, Pokrovsk, Novoukrainka, Zarov, Kotlyne, Lucky, Nadiivka, Bogdanivka, Podobrazhivka.
For his part, the military correspondent Bogdan Miroshnikov noted that the counter -strikes of the Defense Forces near Pokrovsk are the first signs of stabilization of the front area on the southern flank of this direction. However, before the complete stabilization of the front is still far. "Pokrovsk can become the first big city in Donetsk region, which the enemy will not be able to capture," he wrote on social networks.
At the same time, Miroshnikov emphasized that the stabilization of the front should be said with extreme caution, since the situation may change. "The enemy is strong, stubborn and insidious. We do not know how far they can go in the desire to capture the city," Miroshnikov summed up. We will remind, according to DeepState, Russian troops were forced to reduce pressure in the Pokrovsky direction, so the assault was less.
