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

military is trying to accumulate forces and resources in order to storm the Ukrainian positions. However, in general, the tactics of the Russians have changed. "Meat assaults" are now a rare story. They now conduct assaults in small assault groups: 5-6 groups (2-3 people

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.

Bloomberg reported, citing sources, that Greece and Malta have become the main obstacles to an EU proposal to replace the price cap on Russian oil with a ban on services necessary for transporting fuel. According to the agency’s interlocutors, the two southern European

The most unpleasant forecasts regarding the Russian economy are beginning to materialize. What analysts cautiously spoke about a year ago is now being discussed openly even by the most pro-government Russian economists: the safety margin is rapidly shrinking. While Putin talks

Putin is losing the game he himself started. His bet was placed on a return to the world of the 19th and early 20th centuries - a world of empires and spheres of influence, where Europe, America, Africa, and Asia are divided among several “superpowers.” In Putin’s vision of
