ISW analysts revealed the details.
The Ukrainian military has advanced in the Pokrovska direction, according to a fresh report by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
According to the analysts, geolocation videos indicate that AFU units have advanced in the northern part of the village of Nikolaevka, northeast of Pokrovsk.
At the same time, the ISW pointed out that the occupiers reported an alleged advance westward from Novokonomichnoye. But, as the analysts emphasized, there is no confirmation of these successes of the Russians.
The Institute detailed that in the Pokrovsky direction the occupants are fighting units of the Russian detachment "Typhoon" of the 506th motorized rifle regiment, as well as drone operators of the Russian group AirNomads.
Situation in the Pokrovsky direction
In late June, Alexander Pavlenko, an intelligence officer of the separate detachment of unmanned systems "Typhoon" Alexander Pavlenko said that the Pokrovsky direction is experiencing a high intensity of combat operations by the Russian occupants. The Russian army is mainly attacking with small infantry groups.
On July 19, a representative of the Khortytsia OSUV Viktor Tregubov reported that the occupants are spreading a number of false statements about the offensive, in particular, about the active storming of Pokrovsk and penetration into the territory of Dnipropetrovsk region, but this situation does not correspond to reality.
