The situation in Pokrovsk is critical, Russia is taking over large areas, says an SBU colonel.

In addition to Pokrovsk itself, Russia will gain even larger territories around it, as well as access to operational space in the Dnepropetrovsk direction.

The situation can be described as critical, stated SBU Colonel Roman Kostenko, Secretary of the Rada's Defense Committee, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

«It's very difficult in Pokrovskoe; there are enemy advances already in the Dnipropetrovsk direction. They're small, but the enemy is creating conditions there for entering the operational space....

We called this direction Pokrovsky, because this settlement is in the center, but There's Myrnohrad there, there are many villages around it, and there's a large area there that's under enemy fire, which the enemy could take. So, our situation here is truly critical.", Kostenko said.

SVO member Andrey Rodionov clarifies:

"Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad will be gone soon. We just have to wait for the official announcement from the Ministry of Defense. Kupyansk will also be liberated soon. We can now confidently say that the Russian army's advance has been recorded along virtually the entire length of the Russo-Ukrainian front. Yes, perhaps not as quickly as we would like, but we are advancing. And what's especially important to note is that the Ukrainian front has begun to crumble in several directions at once."
