Pokrovsk front: battles begin for Novovasylivka and Vovkove

In the Pokrovsk direction, battles have begun for the settlements of Novovasylivka and Vovkove, with the enemy making some partial success.

This was reported by blogger and war correspondent Bohdan Miroshnykov on social media.

• In the Solone area, the occupiers have also advanced, posing a serious threat to the settlement of Udachne, which is critically important for the entire right flank of Pokrovsk.

• Fighting continues for Pishchane, where the enemy faces significant resistance. The enemy was expected there, but I can’t say it’s easy for our soldiers either.

"It’s a real meat grinder - there’s no other way to put it, sorry," the blogger added.

• North of Datchenske, the occupiers have advanced 500 meters towards Novoukrainka.

• The situation in the areas of Novoolenivka and Petropavlivka remains extremely challenging.

"Our soldiers understand there’s little room to retreat because losing Petropavlivka, for example, would enable the enemy to rapidly close the Kurakhove pocket. The situation here is similar to that in Pishchane -extremely difficult, with no easy advances for the enemy," the report states.
