According to Realna Gazeta, the Ukrainian analytical project DeepState claims that the army of the aggressor country, Russia, has allegedly advanced near Pokrovsk in the western part of the Donetsk region.
DeepState analysts reported this in their Telegram channel.
According to OSINT analysts, the occupiers managed to seize several positions near the settlement of Sribne.

It is located 20 kilometers southwest of Pokrovsk and less than 9 kilometers from the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

At the time of publication, Ukraine’s Defense Forces had neither confirmed nor denied this information.
As Realna Gazeta previously reported, on April 1, it became known that Russian forces had advanced near three settlements in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.
We also wrote that Ukrainian forces refuted Russian claims of allegedly capturing the settlement of Rozlyv in the Pokrovsk direction.
As a reminder, in March of this year, the pace of the Russian army’s advance fell to an eight-month low.
