As reported by Ukrainian defenders, Russians are attempting to infiltrate Pokrovsk with small assault groups of 2-4 people, but so far unsuccessfully.
Regular Russian troops have not entered the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, as stated by Ukrainian MP Maryana Bezuhla on the evening of January 17. This information was confirmed by a lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Alex".
"The guys refute the information about the entry of regular Russian troops into Pokrovsk. The maximum that has occurred is the actions of sabotage and reconnaissance groups, but this has been ongoing for about a month," the military wrote.
