In the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region, Russian forces have encountered difficulties, and the intensity of their assault actions has slightly decreased. 

This was reported by Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the operational-strategic group of forces "Khortytsia".

According to him, the occupiers continue their attempts to bypass and capture the city from the south and southwest:

"They have encountered difficulties, the intensity of their assault actions has slightly decreased, but it still remains high. The resistance they face is quite significant, but their plans remain unchanged—to encircle Pokrovsk from the west, cut off the routes leading to it, and limit resistance in the surrounding areas, although they won’t be able to completely block all routes."

Trehubov added that the invaders have committed their main forces to the fight due to the lack of significant superiority in manpower and equipment that would allow them to effectively continue active offensive actions:

"The situation now somewhat resembles a boxing match nearing the tenth round—both boxers are tired, but the one who was more aggressive and attacking at the start is more fatigued. He is already running out of energy and starts leaning on his opponent."
