Hus, a platoon commander of the Sherhni Dovbusha (Dovbush's Hornets) Unmanned Systems Battalion, stated this on Espreso TV."The situation in the Pokrovsk direction remains difficult. The enemy is increasing pressure, trying to finally cut off logistics to the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration from the east - from the direction of Rodynske, and also from the southwest - from the direction of Udachne and Kotlyne. The invading forces are continuing their pressure and have practically occupied these two settlements," the commander noted.According to him, the enemy is sending in even more small infantry groups, and there is very strong pressure on the suburbs of Pokrovsk, particularly on its outskirts, especially in the south."Also, more than one or two attempts at attacks with armored vehicles have been recorded - which has not happened for a long time. This is a rather rare phenomenon for the last year," the commander emphasized.Russian artillery shelling has damaged the areas of several settlements in the Sumy region, including Kucherivka, Starykove, and Shalyhyne.
