The regiment’s press center published a video of the Ukrainian State Flag being raised in Pokrovsk.
“Despite the Kremlin’s lies about the city being ‘taken,’ Ukraine is fighting, will continue to fight, and will not give up its territory to the occupiers,” the statement says.
At the same time, Operation Task Force “East” noted that the defense of Pokrovsk continues — Ukraine’s Defense Forces control the northern part of the city. Search-and-assault operations and the elimination of enemy forces in urban areas are ongoing.
The situation in the Myrnohrad area remains difficult.
“Ukrainian units continue to carry out their assigned tasks and hold their positions. The enemy is conducting intensive assault operations, trying to break through and establish themselves in the southeastern outskirts of the city. The Defense Forces are destroying enemy assault groups using all available means,” the statement says.
Despite the difficult situation, additional logistical routes to Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are being organized to ensure uninterrupted supply of our units with everything they need and timely evacuation, Operation Task Force “East” added.
