Is there a threat to Pokrovsk?

As the spokesman for “Khortytsia” noted, the advance of the Russian invaders was recorded between Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk.

There is still some progress on their part at Pokrovsk — a partial wedge between Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka. They are trying to develop it, while our troops are trying to destroy as much manpower and equipment as possible, slow down the offensive and push them back... — emphasized Viktor Tregubov.

The spokesman for “Khortytsia” points out that the assault on Pokrovsk makes no sense now, since the Russian army knows what happens if you storm the city head-on.

Despite all the strength they have now, to repeat the "meat assaults" that took place in Mariupol and Bakhmut, they still won't have enough people. They will simply be completely wasted.

Given all these factors and challenges, the Russian invaders are doing everything possible to take the city into partial semi-encirclement.
