Russian troops continue to intensify their assaults in the Pokrovsk area, which is a critical sector for both Ukraine and its allies.
This was stated by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a visit to the command post of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Airborne Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The President thanked the soldiers for their service on this «hottest» front line, emphasizing its strategic importance.
«This is very important, because it’s not just our land. Above all, it’s the enemy’s psychological pressure on our state and all our allies. A lot is being decided in this direction, ” the President said.
