Budanov's special forces were allegedly "destroyed" in Pokrovsk: the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is lying, — mass media

Share: The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that they allegedly destroyed scouts who tried to disembark from a helicopter near Pokrovsk. However, the mass media inform that stabilization measures with the participation of the Main Directorate of Intelligence in the city are ongoing. The Russians were assured that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation allegedly prevented the landing of the GUR landing party.

It is noted that this "attempt" took place approximately one kilometer northwest of the outskirts of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region. This is known from the summary of the enemy Ministry of Defense, published on November 1. "All 11 people who got off the helicopter were destroyed," the ministry said. However, "RBK-Ukraine" sources deny this information.

The unnamed interlocutor said that the message of Russian propaganda about the encirclement of Pokrovsk and the destruction of the GUR landing is another lie of the occupiers. "Suspilny" sources in the Defense Forces reported that on October 31, special units of the GUR began an amphibious operation in Pokrovsk, which is personally managed by the head of intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov. The special forces entered the areas that are considered strategically important for logistics.

Several helicopters were involved. Reuters, citing sources in the Ukrainian military, reported that special forces had landed a few days ago, using a Black Hawk. On November 1, ZSU Major Andriy Tkachuk published a photo of General Budanov in the Pokrovsk district. Social networks also drew attention to the fact that he did not appear at the meeting with the president, to which heads of other special services were invited. Correspondent Oliver Carroll released footage of the landing.
