Commander of the 5th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade Ruslan Habinet reported that Ukrainian units continue to hold positions in certain areas of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad in Donetsk region.
“In the Pokrovsk direction, the enemy has launched 39 attacks. The occupiers have attempted to advance in the areas of the settlements of Bilytske, Rodynske, Myrnohrad, Pokrovsk, Kotlyne, Udachne, Novomykolaivka, Novopidhorodne, Molodetske, Horikhove, and towards Hryshyne and Shevchenko. One assault action is ongoing.”
The Russian command is trying to spread information about its own “successes” in the Kostiantynivka and Lyman directions, claiming control over significant parts of Kostiantynivka and Lyman. At the same time, Ukrainian military officials deny this information, emphasizing the absence of Russian units in the city of Lyman in Donetsk region.
Analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War note that Russian representatives are exaggerating their achievements at the front, aiming to create a false impression of a critical state of Ukraine’s defense line.
