Viacheslav 'Liutyi,' commander of the Dovbush Hornets strike UAV battalion of the 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade, stated this on Espreso TV."Pokrovsk remains in a critical situation, and the enemy is very actively concentrating a very large amount of effort here. A lot of Russian forces are entering, and of course they're also suffering very heavy losses, but in any case this is very important to them, and they want to possess Pokrovsk and control it completely. Just a few days ago, not only our units under the command of the 77th Corps, but also adjacent units were engaged when three columns entered Pokrovsk, which we stopped and destroyed. We hit the first vehicle and destroyed a lot of equipment. They were coming in both on armored vehicles and on quad bikes. And the enemy is really trying to accumulate forces in Pokrovsk for further offensive operations," he said.The serviceman noted that for the Russian troops, any city with solid concrete construction is important."So that they can accumulate personnel and have a bridgehead from there for further offensive operations. In Pokrovsk there are many high-rise buildings and concrete structures where they can concentrate forces. They tried to completely seize the industrial zone in order to concentrate personnel there. The situation with Selidove was similar. Prisoners captured at the Selidove mine reported that over 100 troops were stationed there and described how they operate: trucks constantly bring in personnel, and from there they move out using whatever lighter transport is available. Whoever is lucky gets on some armor, an APC or BMP, while others use Zhigulis, Moskvichs, Bobiks (various vehicle types — ed.), and that's how they deploy in different directions for advancement and offensive operations. Because if an infantryman has to walk more than 10-20 kilometers, or spend three to four hours traveling, he won't be able to conduct serious offensive operations. Infantrymen need to be rested in order to be able to storm positions," he added.
