Heavy fighting is currently underway near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region. This section of the front is the most difficult.
This was stated on air by the spokesman for the Khortytsia Regional Administrative District Viktor Tregubov, Ukrainform writes .
"The most important battles, the most difficult battles, are currently taking place near Pokrovska. At the same time, it is obvious that this is one of the goals of the Russian campaign. Of course, it is difficult, of course, we would like the Russians to be stopped there as soon as possible, but we all understand that... stopping them there is a big task with an asterisk," he noted.
Tregubov assured that the Defense Forces are now doing everything to deter the Russians.
"Although let's be honest: there are simply too many of them there. And the tactic they use there is actually a tactic of exchanging according to the number of Russians per meter of land," the spokesman noted.
According to Tregubov, for the enemy, Pokrovsk has been the main target and the point of the main strike for many campaigns.
"It has remained that way, in principle, for several years. At least at the end of 2023, the Russians were already heading for Pokrovsk, for sure, now we have mid-2025. For them, this is an important point that would give them the opportunity to control the central Donetsk region. That is why, in fact, they threw all their forces there," the spokesman noted.
The military adds that the Russians must first be held north of the city.
"First of all, we need to destroy as many of their personnel there as possible so that they cannot carry out further offensive actions, so that they can run out of steam. Currently, all efforts are directed there ... this is already a competition between two forces - who will prevail," Tregubov noted.
The Pokrovsky direction is where the most clashes continue every day; this is one of the most difficult sections of the front.
