Nazar Voitenkov, spokesman for the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, stated this on Espreso TV."Today, in the area of responsibility of our brigade - the village of Volodymyrivka, located slightly north of the settlement of Dobropillia, assault operations continued. Russian troops did not involve mechanized units, but on foot, under the cover of fog, which quite thickly covers the fields in the evenings and mornings, they tried to disguise themselves, using the weather conditions," Voitenkov noted.According to the spokesman of the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, the defenders timely detected a concentration of the enemy numbering from two to five people. Thanks to timely detection and the use of unmanned systems, the soldiers managed to stop the advance and destroy the Russian troops."Currently, we continue to stabilize the battlefield and clear the sector from the enemy, which the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade covers. The situation remains intense," Voytenkov added.The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold positions in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration. Information about an alleged encirclement is false.
