In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces have intensified their offensive, relying on sheer numbers in relentless infantry assaults. Their objective is to capture Pokrovsk, a critical logistics hub, and pressure Ukrainian defenses in the surrounding areas. However, the latest large-scale attack, involving over 400 Russian troops, starkly revealed the limitations of numerical superiority against well-prepared Ukrainian defenders. Utilizing entrenched positions, minefields, and coordinated counterfire, Ukrainian forces repelled the assault with devastating effectiveness. The failed Russian offensive underscores the high human cost of their strategy and bolsters Ukrainian resolve as the battle for Pokrovsk rages on.
