"The concessions of the territories took place twice": Fighters of the Armed Forces - about the situation near Pokrovsk (video)

According to Igor, a senior battery officer of the 38th brigade, the fire from the Russian troops is constant. The biggest problem is the lack of shells that are needed to reflect threats. Defense forces are constantly trying to slow down the Russian offensive in the strategically important city of Pokrovsk - to prevent the potential release of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation into the neighboring Dnipropetrovsk region. About it writes Euronews.

According to journalists, the Armed Forces are now losing positions near the vital Pokrovskaya supply unit. Russian troops are less than ten kilometers from the city, one of the last large ones in the area. Orders to open fire by the artillery unit are often heard and sometimes every minute. On the basis, Ukrainian soldiers look relaxed - they play with dogs, as if nothing is happening. However, they know that the situation is fragile.

Igor, a senior battery officer of the 38th brigade, told reporters that the fire on the part of Russian troops is "constant, now these are active fighting. " "They are constantly trying to break through the front line. Sometimes less, sometimes more," Igor said. The biggest problem, he said, is the lack of shells that are needed to reflect threats. He does not think that Ukraine should consider the possibility of concessions to Russia after three years of combat clashes.

"I do not support the concessions of the territories," says Igor. "We have passed twice because of it. It's just a delay and time giving time to the Russians to go with new forces. " Commanders know that the battle for Pokrovsk is crucial for the result of the war - if the Russian troops manage to capture or bypass the city, they will be able to move further into Ukraine and make Ukrainian troops retreat.
