The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has stated that logistics to the town of Myrnohrad in Donetsk Oblast are complicated but functioning, and reports claiming that the Russians have full fire advantage over the Ukrainian defence forces' supply routes or that the city is operationally encircled are false.

Quote: "The defence of the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration continues. The situation remains difficult and dynamic. The Russians are deploying all available reserves but are suffering enormous losses in return.

In Myrnohrad, Ukrainian units are confidently holding their positions and wiping out occupants on the approaches to the city."

Details: According to Kovalov, logistics to Myrnohrad are complicated but are being carried out. Claims that Russian forces have full fire advantage over the defence forces' supply routes or that the city is operationally encircled are not true.

The units defending the city have recently received the necessary weapons and ammunition. Rotation of personnel and evacuation of the wounded have also been carried out. Kovalov added that logistics for and rotation of Ukrainian units in the city of Pokrovsk are being provided in the same way.

He noted that active resistance to attempts by Russian infantry groups to gain a foothold in Pokrovsk continues. Search-and-strike operations are ongoing in the city, and Russian positions in urban areas are being destroyed.
