🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️- BREAKING: Russian forces are encircling the city of Pokrovsk, Ukraine, from the north and northeast!

In a shocking maneuver developing over the past 48 hours, the Russian Armed Forces have thrust their infantry and armoured units towards the town of Dobropilia, north of Pokrovsk.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces defending Pokrovsk are concentrated to the south, southeast and east where there are very strong defensive fortifications and active battles. There are virtually no fortifications or Ukrainian forces north of the city.

Some observers of the Ukrainian Conflict are calling this one of the most daring and impressive military feats so far accomplished by Russia, which could endanger Ukraine's defense of Pokrovsk - and the entire Ukrainian defensive network in the Donbass!

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡- "Mr. President [Zelensky],

I honestly don’t know what exactly they are reporting to you, but I can tell you: the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka line is, without exaggeration, a complete mess. And this mess has been growing for a long time, getting worse every day.

Those commands that are now being appointed (or have already been appointed) to “fix the irreparable” are most likely to blame for the mess that is already happening. The line of combat contact as a permanent line does not actually exist.

Pokrovsk and Myrnograd are almost surrounded. Kostyantynivka is semi-encircled. The enemy is advancing in the direction of Kramatorsk and Druzhkivka.

The problem has been increasing since last year. They warned about this publicly, and that is exactly what happened," - Bogdan Krotevich, acting Commander of Azov, has become the first prominent military officer to criticize President Zelensky's handling of the frontline publicly.
