[Korrespondent] The occupiers are not achieving success in this direction, despite the significant resources they are concentrating on assaults.

Russian troops in the Pokrovsky direction have suffered significant losses and are forced to retreat. This was stated by the representative of the OSGV Khortitsa Viktor Tregubov on television.

It is noted that despite the fact that Russian troops continue to actively try to capture Pokrovsk, the latest attempts have been accompanied by significant losses for the Russians.

According to Tregubov, the occupiers are not achieving success in this direction, despite the significant resources they are concentrating on the assaults.

"Pokrovsk remains the most intensive direction. An interesting element of the Pokrovsk direction is that it is there, despite the fact that the Russians are making the greatest efforts, that they have the least success," Tregubov said.

He added that a major assault had recently taken place, during which 90 motorcycles were used, but all of them were destroyed along with their crews.

According to Tregubov, in the Kotlinoe area and to the west of it, Russian troops have even begun to retreat. Ukrainian defenders continue to firmly hold their positions, not allowing the enemy to advance on key lines.

Let us recall that 127 combat clashes occurred on the front over the past 24 hours , most of them in the Pokrovsky direction . Over the past 24 hours, aviation, missile forces and artillery of the Defense Forces hit 15 areas of concentration of personnel, weapons and military equipment, three UAV control points, two air defense systems, five missile forces and artillery of the Russian invaders.
