Russian forces launch repeated assaults, attempt to deploy heavy equipment in Pokrovsk

Artem Pribylnov, head of the communications department of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade, stated this on Espreso TV.

"The situation is quite difficult in our brigade's area of responsibility. Russian forces are constantly pushing forward, constantly conducting assaults. Nevertheless, our brave soldiers consistently repel these assaults. UAV units are also involved—drone operators constantly help the guys both repel these assaults and detect Russian forces. And so Russian forces are constantly trying to advance toward our positions, but again, they haven't had success so far," he said.

Artem Pribylnov also noted that the Russians are attempting to bring equipment into Pokrovsk. Russian assaults using armored vehicles occurred back in December.

"Russian forces are combining tactics, and in our sector they constantly use various means, including armored vehicles. But recently, we're increasingly seeing this armored equipment on the approaches to Pokrovsk itself—we detect it and try to destroy it. So they're pulling equipment in, trying to bring it into Pokrovsk. The last assaults using armored vehicles were back in December. Currently, Russian forces have stopped such attempts because, again, they had no success, were completely destroyed, and lost many units of heavy equipment, including light vehicle equipment. And now they're trying to continue their infiltration tactics—two, three, or four people constantly trying to breach our lines, moving through grey zones, at night in the fog, or when weather conditions are very poor and their detection is complicated. This is how they're trying to infiltrate and establish positions in order to then continue some kind of assault operations," the serviceman noted.
