In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces have launched a new phase of their offensive, employing mechanized assaults to breach Ukrainian defenses. The attacks focus on three main flanks, aiming to cut supply lines and advance toward key positions. However, Ukrainian forces anticipated these moves, establishing multi-layered defenses, deploying remote mining systems, and leveraging drones to disrupt Russian advances. Despite initial gains near Selydove, Russian troops faced devastating losses, with mechanized units destroyed and infantry assaults stalled. These setbacks have weakened their offensive momentum, giving Ukraine time to reinforce positions and refine countermeasures.
