No tendency so far Ukraine will be able to stabilize situation in Pokrovsk sector - military observer

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

“The enemy will continue to advance, as the Russian troops are tasked with advancing in the Pokrovsk direction, and they are sending reserves there. The enemy forces are overwhelming. Currently, there is no reason to believe that the Russians will move reserves from there to stop our offensive in the Kursk region,” noted Popovych.

According to the military observer, the Donetsk direction and Donetsk region will be the last places Russia will move reserves from to the Kursk region to deter the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“Currently, the situation is as follows, and the enemy's advance in the Pokrovsk direction continues. The situation is quite difficult, and there is no tendency that we will be able to stabilize it there,” added Popovych.
