Ukrainian troops trap Russian forces in Pokrovsk area, catching them off guard

Armed Forces of Ukraine delivered a strike against Russian military units in the Andriivka – Oleksiivka front direction last week. This was reported by Lieutenant General Serhiy Naiev, former commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “The success of our actions in countering the Russian offensive operations is primarily determined by the availability of sufficient forces and resources. These are the main prerequisites for the effective use of already organized reconnaissance, command, management, and coordination. I work directly with brigade and battalion commanders, as well as sergeants and soldiers, to ensure proper coordination between units and coordinated execution of tasks along the frontline sectors, where the enemy is attempting to break through. We had some gains,” Naiev said, Espresso TV reports. According to the lieutenant general, last week, in the Andriivka – Oleksiivka frontline sector, the Defense Forces of Ukraine lured the enemy forces into a pre-prepared trap and stopped them. Afterward, a devastating fire strike was delivered by several brigades and units. Over 600 artillery shells and more than 200 strike drones were used. “As a result, 120 Russian infantry, 3 tanks, 11 armored fighting vehicles, and one enemy vehicle were destroyed. After the battle, the area was cleared. Thus, the enemy’s attempt was thwarted. This is the result of clear coordination, early detection of the enemy’s plans, and, most importantly, the availability of the necessary forces and resources for an adequate response. This is the decisive factor in modern warfare. If forces or resources are insufficient, reinforcement must occur,” Naiev emphasized. Ukrainian forces pushed back Russian troops in the village of Shevchenkove in the Pokrovsk sector of Donetsk Oblast, the DeepState monitoring group reported. At the same time, according to the updated maps of the frontlines, the enemy was able to advance near the Ukrainian village of Novolyubivka and the city of Chasiv Yar, as well as near the Russian settlement of Guevo in Kursk Oblast. Earlier, Viktor Trehubov, Khortytsia operational-strategic troop grouping spokesperson, said that Russian troops had become “bogged down” near Pokrovsk and were showing signs of exhaustion. According to him, both the offensive from the south and attempts to outflank Pokrovsk from the west have failed. Recently, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that Russia’s military is concentrating its main offensive efforts in the Pokrovsk direction but is effectively “stalling.”
