He shared the information on Espreso TV.

“In the Kurakhove direction, the Russian aggressors are using armored vehicles, as the area they are trying to overcome consists of fields that are difficult to cross on foot. These fields are remotely mined or well targeted by Ukrainian artillery systems and mortars. We are also actively using FPV drones. Yesterday, another Russian attack took place in our sector. It was an attempt to land troops in two forest strips where they planned to gain a foothold, dig in, wait for support and then move on, but the Russians failed. We stopped the assault and completely destroyed the airborne group,” emphasized Voitenkov.

The acting press officer of the 33rd Brigade added that Russian troops typically bring equipment capable of deploying 10-15 personnel. However, these movements are detected through round-the-clock battlefield monitoring.

“We cancel, disintegrate and destroy any attempts to hide, disguise or take cover. We don't allow them to congregate because it is dangerous. That's why they move in small groups, trying to accumulate forces for further advancement. However, we do not allow them to do so,” noted Voitenkov.

  • Following several days of work in the brigades defending the Pokrovsk direction, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said that the situation there is currently the most difficult.
  • Reserve Major of the National Guard of Ukraine, veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war Oleksiy Hetman noted that the battle for Pokrovsk could last for months.
