A representative of the Estonian army intelligence noted that Putin's occupation forces still hold the initiative on the battlefield. According to him, over the past week, there have been an average of 167 attacks per day, half of which were concentrated in the Donetsk direction, NBN reports with reference to ERR.
Kesselmann reported that over the past week, the “second army of the world” has advanced 1-2 kilometers to Pokrovsk in Donetsk region, and the invaders still need to go 5-7 kilometers to the outskirts of the city.
He predicts that if the Russian occupiers maintain such an intensity of advance, the Defense Forces will probably have to retreat from the city by the end of the year.
Recall that a representative of the 15th “Kara-Dag” Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine reported on the situation near Pokrovsk, telling how the tactics of the invaders in this direction have changed.
