Quote: "For the fourth time in the past six weeks, [Russian] propagandists have announced the capture of the whole of Pokrovsk, trying to pass wishful thinking off as reality. Their only argument is photos and videos from the central part of the city.

We emphasise that the [Ukrainian] defence forces control the north of Pokrovsk. Here the enemy has lost momentum and the rules of enemy propaganda do not apply.

Active offensive actions continue to restore our control over every metre of the city."

Details: Ukrainian military reported that they are carrying out assault raids to the south of the railway line and killing Russian troops.

Background: Earlier, Ukrainska Pravda sources on the Pokrovsk front have said that Ukraine's defence forces withdrew from some positions near the cities of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad several weeks ago, including in the area of the villages of Sukhyi Yar and Lysivka.
