The occupiers advance near Pokrovsk with a lot of armored vehicles: the military assessed the situation.


The Armed Forces of Ukraine state that the occupiers continue attacks on the Pokrovsk direction. This morning they attacked with heavy armored vehicles. According to an officer of the 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade named after Yakov Handziuk of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhiy Tsekhotsky, five units of equipment have already been destroyed, and 30 occupiers were eliminated only overnight. During the day, about 50 occupiers were destroyed in total, more than 10 drones were shot down, and 97 drones were deactivated by military electronic warfare means. The defender also said that the last Time the occupiers conducted a similar large-scale assault was at the beginning of September. Between these attacks, the enemy army conducted regular assaults exclusively with infantry groups. According to the officer, these attacks did not achieve the desired success, so the occupiers turned to a new method of combat - the use of armored vehicles.
Meanwhile, analysts report that the occupiers may have already captured the villages of Lysivka and Marynivka in eastern Ukraine. According to a British military expert, the Russian occupation army is forming a "cauldron" in the area of Zoriane.
