Intense Combat in Pokrovsk: Ukrainian Forces Execute Manoeuvres

Heavy fighting in the Pokrovsk sector of eastern Ukraine has compelled Ukrainian troops to undertake tactical manoeuvres, according to a late-night report from the General Staff. President Zelenskiy described the situation as extraordinarily difficult, emphasizing the critical nature of the front line northwest of Donetsk.

Heavy fighting in the Pokrovsk sector in eastern Ukraine has forced Ukrainian troops to engage in "manoeuvres," the Ukrainian military's General Staff said in a late-night report on Tuesday.

The report said Pokrovsk, northwest of the Russian-held city of Donetsk, remained the front's "hottest" sector and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy referred to that and adjacent areas as "extraordinarily difficult" in his nightly video address.

"In some areas, the situation requires our troops to engage in manoeuvres," the General Staff report said.
