Military observer Vasyl Pekhnio stated this on Espreso TV."Everything happening in the Pokrovsk-Mynohrad agglomeration can now be described as a controlled withdrawal maneuver. The 7th Air Assault Corps is currently executing the most complex maneuver in military tactics—a controlled withdrawal from the entire Pokrovsk-Mynohrad agglomeration," Pekhnio noted.According to the military observer, retreating without allowing the front to collapse, and preventing the Russian army from exploiting the breach to break through, is an exceptionally difficult maneuver."And our paratroopers are now performing it, preventing the enemy from simply passing through, breaking the front, or advancing anywhere. But in a broader sense, we are losing this agglomeration," Pekhnio added.Over the course of November 20, 173 combat clashes were recorded on the Russian-Ukrainian front, 59 of which took place in the Pokrovsk sector.
