Information about the encirclement of AFU units in Pokrovsk does not correspond to reality — General Staff

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the evening of August 5.

"The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to restrain the russian occupiers around the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration. The enemy has been unsuccessfully trying to push our troops out of this area for over a year now.

At the same time, some sources are spreading information about the alleged encirclement of our units in Pokrovsk. It absolutely does not correspond to reality", — the General Staff noted.

It is stated that currently the enemy is conducting offensive operations to the northeast of Pokrovsk, attempting to cut off the logistics of Ukrainian troops.

"However, despite significant efforts and continuous assaults, the enemy is not succeeding. russian soldiers are only finding their death around Pokrovsk. The Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has taken appropriate measures to strengthen the resilience of our defense in this direction", — emphasized the General Staff of the AFU.
