Russian troops shift focus from Pokrovsk towards the Toretsky direction.


Russian troops are moving east
The occupation forces of Russia are gradually shifting their efforts from the Pokrovsk direction towards the Toretsky direction, but the Pokrovsk direction remains one of the hottest in the combat zone. This was reported by the spokesman of the Operational-Strategic Group of Forces 'Khortytsia', Viktor Trehubov.
'Here, the only thing is that the Russians are actually sliding east towards the Toretsky direction, but according to our calculations, it is still Pokrovsk, at least it is east of the city of Pokrovsk,' explained Trehubov. According to him, this territory is 'halfway to Kostiantynivka, but in our calculations, it is considered the Pokrovsk direction.'
Currently, the most intense battles are taking place in the Pokrovsk and Novopavlivka directions. Hostile activity is also observed in the Lyman, Kramatorsk, and Toretsky directions, although the fighters pay less attention to the Siversky, Kupiansk, and Kharkiv directions.
Dispersion of enemy forces
According to the spokesman, the situation in the Kharkiv region is also tightening as the enemies strengthen their positions. Despite this, direct combat requires greater attention in the Kharkiv and Kupiansk directions. Trehubov warned that the Russians are preparing for further actions by increasing their potential.
Currently, enemy losses in the area of operations of the OSUV 'Khortytsia' amount to an average of 800 people per day, and regarding equipment - from three to four tanks and about 10 APCs per day. However, the Russians have begun to use motorcycles more actively, which complicates counting the losses in equipment, according to Trehubov.
