Ukrainian troops are gradually losing control over certain areas of Pokrovsk, — serviceman "Muchnyi"

In Pokrovsk, the situation continues to deteriorate, "we are gradually losing control over a number of districts."

This was reported by a Ukrainian serviceman with the call sign "Muchnyi."

According to him, fierce battles for every yard are ongoing in the Sobachivka microdistrict in the east of Pokrovsk. The Russians control most of it, and, "judging by everything, this area is on the verge of complete separation - it’s only a matter of time before the enemy fully establishes control."

North of the city center, Ukrainian forces "are in a disadvantageous position, intense fire and constant attacks provide no respite, and the Cossacks need to be urgently evacuated from there."

The Armed Forces of Ukraine hold their positions most steadfastly in the industrial zone in the west, where, according to "Muchnyi," Ukraine controls more than half of the territory. 

North of the railway tracks, the Russians "are striving to build on their success and are already entering the Dinas area, which is considered the city’s second line of defence." "The enemy is acting swiftly, cutting off our movement routes and gradually tightening the encirclement. Despite this, resistance continues, but it feels as though the city is slowly suffocating under the pressure," the serviceman notes.

"The speed of the enemy’s advance indicates that Pokrovsk is entering the most difficult stage of combat," emphasizes "Muchnyi."

On the DeepState map, a significant portion of these Russian advances reported by the serviceman is not reflected, though recently the "gray zone" has expanded, approaching the railway tracks in the center of Pokrovsk (which has also been officially confirmed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine).
