Russian troops in the Pokrovsk sector are continuing preparations to intensify offensive operations aimed at advancing toward the town of Dobropillia.
According to Ukrinform, the information was reported by the National Guard of Ukraine's 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade Rubizh on Facebook.
"In the Rubizh Brigade's area of responsibility in the Pokrovsk sector, the enemy continues preparations to intensify offensive operations. The invaders are actively conducting aerial reconnaissance and attempting to clear minefields along routes to facilitate the advance of assault groups using ATVs and motorcycles. The use of this equipment is likely to become one of the enemy's primary methods for attempting to breach our defenses," the statement said.
The brigade noted that despite constant assault attempts, Russian forces had failed to achieve their objectives. Rubizh Brigade troops continue to detect and eliminate enemy units before they can reach Ukrainian positions.
The invaders' main objective remains an advance toward Dobropillia.
