Russian army's advance toward Dnipropetrovsk region: Forecast from Ukraine's Armed Forces

The Russian troops are trying to reach the administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk region. They may try to bypass Pokrovsk from the north through the Mezhova community of this region. However, the occupiers currently do not have enough strength to advance deep into the region.

This was stated by Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Serhiy Tsekhotsky during a broadcast on "Suspilne."

"The current plan of the Russians is to reach the administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk region. The administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions are their goal. The capture of Pokrovsk is crucial in this regard," the officer explained.

Tsekhotsky refrained from predicting whether the enemy could penetrate further into the region. He noted that the largest concentration of Russian forces is currently on the Pokrovsk front, where the occupiers are transferring reinforcements from other directions.

Additionally, Tsekhotsky suggested a scenario where the enemy might try to bypass Pokrovsk from the north via the Mezhova community in Dnipropetrovsk region. The occupiers have become more active to the east of Pokrovsk, near the villages of Vozdvyzhenka and Yelyzavetivka.

"Whether the occupiers can bypass the city through Myrnohrad and encircle Pokrovsk in so-called "pincers" is currently impossible to predict," the officer added.
