Russian invaders have advanced in the towns of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad in Donetsk Oblast, according to DeepState, which reported the developments on Feb. 4.
Analysts said Russian forces had advanced in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad.
The enemy has also advanced near Siversk, they said.
Situation in Donetsk Oblast
On Jan. 8, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said the defense forces controlled the northern part of Pokrovsk and were stopping Russian troops in Myrnohrad.
On Jan. 16, the Air Assault Forces of Ukraine said Russian troops had concentrated more than 10 units around Myrnohrad in an effort to block Ukrainian logistics from all directions and encircle Ukrainian units.
On Jan. 19, analysts at DeepState reported that Russian forces continued to build up infantry in Pokrovsk, gradually penetrating the city, consolidating positions and adapting them to the terrain they had occupied. On the same day, the 7th Air Assault Corps said that due to counteractions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russian troops were unable to carry out direct assaults on the village of Hryshyne near Pokrovsk.
On Jan. 27, the Air Assault Forces said Russian troops were increasing pressure on northern Myrnohrad, while small-arms fighting with occupying forces continued in the city center.
On Feb. 3, DeepState reported that Russian forces were intensifying pressure on Pokrovsk, moving equipment and drones into the area, while Myrnohrad remained under constant fire control by the occupiers. Ukraine’s defense forces are trying to hold their positions, but fighting for the cities “remains extremely difficult,” analysts said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
