The Pokrovsk direction remains one of the hottest on the front. The Russians are storming Ukrainian positions around the clock, sometimes even without breaks at night. The number of assaults in the Pokrovsk direction is consistently high. The Russians are managing to put

pressure thanks to new tactics. Ivan Sekach, press officer of the 110th separate mechanized brigade named after General-ensign Mark Bezruchko, told in more detail about it. Active combat operations are underway in the Pokrovsk direction, in the

Myrnohrad area. Russian troops do not give up their attempts to break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and are looking for weak spots in it. The front is ablaze. Assaults are happening constantly. On the night of August 18, 12 units of equipment stormed us.

Several units were destroyed and damaged. The infantry was scattered and ran through the plantings. They were then actively destroyed, - said Ivan Sekach. There is no weakening of pressure from the enemy in the Pokrovsk direction. According to the General Staff of the

Ukrainian Armed Forces, on average, about 50 assaults are taking place in this section of the front. "Our brigade has been in this direction since the end of April. Since then, the number of assaults has not changed, they occur several dozen times a day. Here we need to

clarify: these are not two-hour assaults, they are constant," the military man noted. The enemy uses the tactics of small groups that operate virtually around the clock. Only sometimes at night is there a respite, because the Russians need technical support. The Russian

in each) simultaneously go within a one-kilometer interval. It is very difficult for artillery to destroy such moving targets, especially when we are talking about such a small number of people, then a lot of shells are spent on their destruction, Sekach noted. Also, FPV

drones cannot always work on the enemy. For example, when the Russians are in the plantings, the work of drones becomes virtually impossible. However, the skill of the artillerymen and the Ukrainian infantry still give the enemy a rebuff. It is also worth noting that the

Russians have no problems with the number of drones. They have enough Mavics and FPV drones. "Sometimes it happens that as many as 20 "wings" are circling in the Pokrovsk region. Our brigade recently received new weapons, we began to shoot them down more actively, and

they began to fly less. But when necessary, they again raise up to 20 "wings" into the sky at the same time," said the press officer of the 110th OMBR.
