Quote: "Small-arms fighting is ongoing in the centre of the settlement, while Ukrainian units are containing the enemy and blocking its advance from the east of the village. At the same time, the enemy is increasingly attempting to advance westwards, avoiding a direct entry into Hryshyne.
On the northern outskirts of Pokrovsk, Ukrainian forces are blocking the enemy's attempts to advance and are holding designated positions."
Background:
- DeepState, a Ukrainian group of military analysts, reported on social media that Russian forces had advanced deeper into Ukraine in the village of Hryshyne in Donetsk Oblast.
- Later, Stanislav Luchanov, the newly appointed commander of the 155th Separate Mechanised Brigade named after Anna of Kyiv, stated that despite regular Russian infiltration, his brigade continued to hold Hryshyne.
