"Today we crush Russian troops, but they attack again tomorrow" – Lt. Colonel on Pokrovsk front

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

“The Russians have recently become more active, not only in terms of infantry assaults, but especially in terms of armored vehicles. A few days ago, we repelled an attack and destroyed a tank and about 8 armored personnel carriers. That is, the enemy has started using more equipment than before, when it was only infantry,” explained Koval.

According to the head of the press service of the 14th Assault Brigade, the occupiers realized that they would not be able to break through the Ukrainian defense in the Pokrovsk direction by advancing close.

“They started using flanking tactics. We broke them again. It is clear that they are already running out of human resources, and they are starting to bring in armored vehicles. We realize that we have to be proactive and conduct reconnaissance, which we do around the clock. We even detect and destroy the invaders on the outskirts of Ukrainian positions.

Today we defeated all the Russian assault groups, and tomorrow they will replenish their reserves and start attacking again in small groups along the entire Pokrovsk direction. They can accumulate forces every day despite heavy losses,” emphasized Koval.

• Near the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, the situation remains stable. Invading Russian army is attempting to cut off the Pokrovsk–Kostiantynivka highway.
